When
Break Page
is selected, the printer will stop printing and go off line as
soon as a paper out or paper jam condition is detected. After a new box of
forms is loaded, printing will resume where it left off. The
Break Page
setting is appropriate when you know a page is too large to reprint (exceeds
available buffer size, e.g. contains large graphic images). This will suppress
the error message
Cannot Reprint
before printing continues.

This item selects how much of the 32K byte input buffer is set aside for
reprinting a page when
Finish Page
or
Reprint Page
has been selected for the
Paper Out Fault Action item (see above). The value selected (0 to 28K
bytes in 1K byte increments) should be set to accommodate the largest page
expected, but not unnecessarily large since the larger this is set, the smaller
the effective I/O buffer. The 8K byte default setting should be large enough
to hold most pages of text, but may not be large enough to hold more
complex or graphic filled pages. If the page size selected is not large
enough, the page will be broken as described under Paper Out Fault Action
item above.
If the Paper Out Fault Action item is set to
Break Page
, the Reprint Page
Size may be set to
0
to allow the largest possible I/O buffer.

This item selects whether or not ribbon checking is active. This feature
works exclusively with Printek ribbons. When Ribbon Checking is On,
the printer alerts the operator if a ribbon is not installed, or if the ribbon life
has been reached (see Ribbon Life below). Ribbon Check may be turned off
if these features are not desired.
Ribbon Check may also be turned off to allow the use of non-Printek brand
ribbons. Using non-Printek ribbons may limit the warranty on the print
head, so before turning Ribbon Check off, please read “Why Use Only
Printek® Brand Ribbons” on page 8 and the warranty information on page
