Star Micronics XR-1020, XR-1520 manual Installation menu, Command menu

Installation menu

In this menu, you can select the following sub-menus.

. Command menu (which commands the printer accepts)

•Font menu (which font to print)

•Character menu (which character set to print)

•Print menu (which style to print)

. Paper menu (what paper the printer will use)

•Forms menu (how pages will be formatted)

Command menu

This menu allows you to set up various parameters controlling the overall setup of the printer.

•Emulation

Select the mode compatible with your computer and software. In Standard mode, [*STANDARD], the printer operates like the Epson EX-8OO/EX- 1000. In IBM mode, [IBM], it operates like the IBM Proprinter III.

•RAM usage

In order to download characters this switch must be set [DOWNLOAD BUFFER]. The printer then uses its RAM memory for storing character patterns and provides only a one-line print buffer.

If you leave this switch to [*INPUT BUFFER], the printer uses its RAM memory as an input buffer, allowing the computer to send data faster than the printer prints.

If you want the print buffer only one line, set to [ 1LINE BUFFER].

•Quiet mode

You can select the Quiet mode as the power-on default by setting this switch to [ENABLED].

When in Quiet mode, the printer will print slightly slower, but at a reduced noise level.

•Graphics direction

When printing in dot graphics mode, the printer may either print bi- directionally (in alternate directions), [*BI-DIRECTIONAL],for speed or in one direction only (uni-directional for increased accuracy), [UNI-DIREC- TIONAL].

For practically all purposes, however, bi-directional printing is sufficiently accurate.
