EMULATION Menu

Compatibility Op

The Compatibility Options allow you to select special printer functions in the
non-SCS mode based on the capabilities of the printer emulated.

CR At MPP+1

MPP is Maximum Print Position, which is also known as line length. This
option controls a carriage return at the end of a print line and at MPP+1.

On

(factory default). Produces a carriage return to the first print position of

the next line.

Off

. Produces a carriage return to the first print position of the current line.

NL At MPP+1

Controls how many lines are skipped when the carriage returns to a new line.

On

(factory default). Moves to the first print position two lines down from

the current position.

Off

. Moves to the first print position of the next print line.

Position Aft FF (4234 only)

Allows you to select the location of the print position after a form feed
command is sent.

On

. Sets the printer to print at print position 1 of the first print line on the

next form.

Off

(factory default). Sets the printer to print at print position 2 of the first

print line on the next form.

Last Char = FF

Determines the print line position when a form feed command is the last code
encountered in the print buffer.

On

(factory default). Moves to the first print position on the second line of

the next form.

Off

. Moves to the first print position on the first line of the next form.

NOTE:

This option is ignored if Auto Skip At End is on.

If configured as a 3287, and a form feed occurs in the middle of a print buffer,
the printer defaults to the first print position on the second line of the next form
regardless of the setting of this option.

Null Suppression

Off

(factory default). Ignores nulls. The print position does not move.

On

. Treats nulls as blank spaces.
