CR, EM, & NL

CR (Carriage Return), EM (Error Message), & NL (New Line) specify that the
printer treat the CR, EM, and NL control codes either as spaces or as control
codes.

On

(factory default). Treats the CR, EM, and NL commands as control

codes.

Off

. Treats the CR, EM, and NL commands as spaces.

Data Bit 8

Enable

(factory default). The PI line is not passed directly from host to

printer; all 8 bits are used for data bits, and characters in the hex 80-FF
range can be accessed.

Disable

. When the host PI line is enabled, data bit 8 internally indicates

PI line status. To use the PI line, disable data bit 8, and enable the Host PI
configuration option (under the PI Ignored option).

NOTE:

Data bit 8 is interpreted as either data bit 8 or PI signal, but never
both. When enabled as data bit 8, data bit 8 has priority over the PI
signal, and all data above hex 7F is used to access character data
and not to interpret PI line data.

Conversely, when data bit 8 is disabled and the PI signal is used, data
bit 8 of the data is reserved for use as the PI function, and you cannot
access characters in the hex 80-FF range. Therefore, to access
characters in the hex 80-FF range, data bit 8 must be enabled.
