5. Extended setup options (40-42)

Communication buffer size

This function selects the maximum size of the input buffer. An appropriate selection is displayed according to another setup options like the emulation type of either IBM or FX mode.

When the selection of this function is completed, the printer is intialized.

The buffer size affects the signal protocol in serial data communication. In these protocols the printer's busy/ready state changes according to the data remaining values in the buffer.

Setting of whether ERROR/PE signals are output or not.

(1)Setting is made whether or not ERROR and PE signals for the parallel interface are output.

(2)When "NO" is selected, ERROR signal remains HIGH, and PE signal remains LOW, in any situation.

41 ERROR STATUS

STATUS SIG.:YES

STATUS SIG.:NO

Print direction

Selects either pre-directional printing, bi-directional printing, or uni-directional printing.

42 PRINT DIR

PRE-DIRECTION

UNI-DIRECTION

BI-DIRECTION

.................... Default print direction

.................... Ignores the software command (ESC U).

Pre-directional printing:

Whenever a double pass of the print head is required, the direction of the second pass is the same as that of the first pass . This logic - seeking, unidirectional printing can be used, therefore, in modes such as double strike and double height printing. The logic seeking capability is executed before the first pass of the print head. The printing direction of all paths is the same as that of the first pass.

Bi-directional printing:

Successive passes of the print head alternate between the left-right and right-left direction.

Uni-directional printing:

Data is always printed in a single direction from the left to the right. This selection on the front panel will ignore a software print direction command.

When unidirectional printing is set, a software command with respect to the printing direction is not accepted. When pre-directional printing or bidirectional printing is set, a software bidirectional command is executed.
