General Control
The Series 150 Printer supports several printer emulation modes, Normal (IBM), EPOS (Epson), MICROLINE (OKIDATA), Star (Star), NCR2567 (NCR), and Telpar.
The default print mode for graphics can be set to bidirectional for fastest print or unidirectional for the best print quality.
The input receive buffer can be configured to various sizes. The optimal size is dependent on the application. The options are from 256 to 6144 bytes. To provide tight control of the printer, a
The line to line print registration of the printer is adjustable. This registration is important in graphics and rotated print and is set at the factory. However, if the printer has been serviced this value may need to be adjusted. The adjustment can range from zero to nine. To aid in setting this adjustment, the printer will print an alignment chart.
To allow the printer to print better on multipart forms, the impact energy supplied to the print head can be increased. In high impact mode, the print speed is decreased by about 15 percent. High impact is only effective in validation mode.
The amount of time the printer waits after a form is sensed and before action is taken is adjustable. This is the form sense wait time. It can be adjusted from zero to 750 milliseconds. The default is 250 milliseconds.
The printer can be configured to return to receipt mode after a validation command is issued. The
The amount of time the cash drawer is energized is adjustable from 25 to 250 milliseconds. This value will be dependent on the cash drawer being used; however, 150 milliseconds works with most drawers.
The reset command (EPOS mode only) can be prevented from being acted on. If reset inhibit is set to on, the command will have no affect. (This does not affect the parallel port INIT signal).
