FF
This parameter forces the printer to insert an automatic Carriage Return code
into the data stream whenever a Form Feed code occurs. This can be used in
most installations, but it is required if the host computer does not send
carriage returns to the printer.
• = FF (factory default). Does not perform an automatic carriage return. The
next print position will be the current print position of the next form.
• = CR + FF . Performs an automatic carriage return. The next print position
will be print position 1 of the next form.
Unsolicited Rpt
This option enables or disables Printer Device Status Reports to be sent to
the host when a reportable status or error condition has occurred.
• No (factory default). Disables all unsolicited status reports from the
printer.
• Small . Enables brief unsolicited status reports and sends an extended
status report to the host.
• Big . Enables extended, unsolicited status reports and sends an extended
status report to the host.
Print Mode Opt
When enabled, this option affects the SPI, SHS, and DECSHORP
commands. The printer will no longer be forced into these commands and
print speed improves significantly when in portrait orientation. For SHS and
DECSHORP, the character size will change with the selected pitch. In
addition, SGR attributes such as bold, crossed-out, and italics, will be done in
print mode with greater efficiency.
• Enable (factory default). Enables the print mode option.
• Disable . Disables the print mode option. This provides compatibility with
older LG printer products.
Plot Mode Opt
When enabled, this option will plot with greater efficiency, particularly with
respect to the Postnet barcode. Postnet is printed in the same density as the
current print mode font so that reverse motion will be inhibited when possible.
• Enable (factory default). Enables the print mode option.
• Disable . Disables the print mode option. This provides compatibility with
older LG printer products.
I-2/5 Guard Bars
• Enable (factory default). Horizontal guard bars are printed above and
below each Interleaved 2/5 bar code. This option only applies to
Interleaved 2/5 bar codes.
• Disable . Interleaved 2/5 bar codes are printed normally, with no guard
bars.
