Table 12 lists the maximum number of characters that can be printed for a
given Characters Per Inch (CPI) setting.
IMPORTANT If the form width is set in characters and the CPI is changed, the
effective page width is changed to be equal to the form width in
characters divided by the new CPI.
Define CR Code
The Define CR Code option controls the action of the printer when it receives
a Carriage Return code (hex 0D) from the host computer. If this feature is
enabled, each time the printer receives a carriage return, it inserts an
additional Line Feed code (hex 0A) into the data stream. Do not use this
feature if the host computer sends line feeds to the printer.
• CR = CR (factory default). No extra line feeds are inserted.
• CR = CR + LF . Inserts an extra line feed after each carriage return.
Autowrap
Defines the printer actions when print data is received past the form width
setting.
• With LF+CR (factory default). Performs an automatic carriage return and
line feed when data is received past the form width.
• With CR . Performs an automatic carriage return (without line feed) when
data is received past the forms width.
• Disable . Discards any data past the form width.
