User’s Manual

HARDWRE defines printer hardware conditions. If you are using the
optional RS-232C serial interface, serial interface options must be set
correctly for the printer to function with system hardware.

Table 8-4 lists HARDWRE items and options in the order they are
printed. The procedure for changing hardware options follows
Table 8-4.

IGNORE

Specifies how the printer responds to a paper outage.

The printer detects paper outage only for continuous
forms. Printing stops, and the PAPER OUT indicator (or
ALARM indicator) glows amber.
The printer detects paper outage for both continuous
forms and cut sheets. Printing stops, and the PAPER
OUT indicator (or ALARM indicator) glows amber.
The printer ignores paper outage for both continuous
forms and cutsheets. Printing continues until no more
data remains. No PAPER OUT (or ALARM) warning
occurs.

For cut-sheet feeders, printing stops, and the PAPER
OUT (or ALARM indicator) indicator glows amber,
regardless of the setting.

directions while seeking the next print direction, this
option is used for a shorter print time.

is useful for printing vertical lines in tables even if vertical
alignment is not adjusted. Printing is slower than
bidirectional printing.
