Star Micronics NX-2430 manual

Switch A-1: Emulation

Select the mode compatible with your computer and software. In the Standard/Epson mode, theprinteroperates like the Epson LQ-860/850. In the IBM mode, it operates like the IBM Proprinter X24E/24P, Ps/1 .

The ON position selects Standard/Epson mode. The OFF position selects IBM mode.

Switch A-2: Auto Emulation Change (AEC) Mode

This switch selects the Auto Emulation Change (AEC) mode.

When the AEC mode is enabled, the printer automatically judges the Emulation which your application program uses.

Switch A-3: RAM Usage

In order todownloadcharacters this switch must be inthe OFF position. The printer then uses its RAM memory for storing character patterns and provides only a one-line print buffer. If you leave this switch ON, the printer uses its RAM memory as an input buffer, allowing the computer to send data faster than the printer prints.

Switch A-4: Auto LF with CR

If you leave this switch at the ON position, a separate line-feed code is required from your computer to obtain a line feed. If you move this switch to the OFF position, the printer performs both a carriage return and line feed each time it receives a carriage-return code.

Most computer systems send a line feed code, or both a carriage return and line feed, at the end of each line, so this switch should be left ON. If you get double line spacing when you expect single spacing, or if lines overprint each other, try changing the setting of this switch.

Switch A-5: Auto Sheet Feeder

In order to use the optional automatic sheet feeder (SF- 1ODS),move this switch to the OFF position.

Otherwise leave it ON.

Switch A-6: Graphics Direction

When printing in graphics mode, the printer may either print bi- directionally (in alternate directions) for speed or in one direction only (uni-directional for increased accuracy). For practically all purposes, however, bi-directional printing is sufficiently accurate.
