Data Bit 8

Enable (default). Allows access to the extended ASCII
character set.
Disable. The printer interprets bit 8 of each incoming data
character as a zero, regardless of its actual setting.

PI Ignored

The PI (Paper Instruction) signal is used to control vertical paper
motion.
Enable (default). Causes the printer to interpret the eight data
lines as DVFU commands when the PI signal is true.
Disable. Ignores the PI signal and treats the data as characters
or control codes.

Data Polarity

The Data Polarity parameter must be set to match the data polarity
of your host computer.
Standard (default). Does not expect the host computer to invert
the data.
Inverted. Expects the data received on the data lines from the
host computer to be inverted. Ones become zeros, and zeros
become ones.

Resp. Polarity

The Response Polarity parameter must be set to match the
response polarity of your host computer.
Standard (default). Does not invert the response signal.
Inverted. Inverts the response signal sent to the host
computer.

Specifies whether the data is read on the leading, middle, or trailing
edge of the data strobe signal. The default is Middle.
