A3 - RAM usage’

The printer’s internal memory can be set as either buffer memory (ON) – the printer accepts data from the com- puter faster than it can print it, or download memory (OFF) - you can invent your own character symbols and download them using software into the printer.

A4 - Color and zoom

If this switch is ON, both color printing and zooming (page 40) are enabled. If OFF, you can do neither color printing nor zoom printing. If you have set a zoom level and stored it as a macro (page 42), and turn this switch OFF, the zoom size will be cancelled.

A5 - Auto LF with CR

If A5 is ON, your computer needs to send both a line feed code and a carriage return code at the end of each line. If A5 is set to OFF, the printer will automatically perform a line feed each time it receives a carriage return. As a result, your software only needs to send a carriage return at the end of a line.

If your output is double-spaced when it should not be, you may need to set this setting to ON.

If the lines of your output are being printed on top of one another, you should set this s~tting to OFF. -

A6 - Auto sheet feeder

If you have installed the optional automatic sheet feeder (SF- 1ODW),you should turn this switch OFF. Other- wise, simply leave it ON.

B1 - Graphics direction

When you are printing graphics, you can print bi-direc- tionally (left-to-right and right-to-left) for speed (ON). Uni-directional graphics printing (OFF) means that the print head prints from left-to-right, returns to the left without printing, and prints from left-to-right again. This is a little more accurate than bi-directional pnnt-
