Ribbon End Point
This parameter adjusts the point at which the system will declare the ribbon
as being expended. The life count will always be from 100% to 0%, but if a
darker setting is selected 0% will be reached more quickly. If a lighter setting
is selected, the system will extend the time it takes to reach 0%.
Load Config.
The printer can store numerous configurations in memory. This parameter
allows you to select and load a specific configuration.
Save Config
This option allows you to save up to eight configurations to meet different print
job requirements. This eliminates the need to change the parameter settings
for each new job. The configurations are stored in memory and will not be lost
if you turn off the printer. If the Protect Configs. parameter is enabled, the new
configuration will not be saved unless the existing configuration has been
deleted first. The factory default configuration cannot be changed. See
“Saving Your New Configuration” on page 63 for details.
Power Up Config
This option allows you to specify which of the nine configurations (Factory or
1-8) will be the power-up configuration.
Open Platen @ BOF
Some special forms have perforation areas that are too thick to pass through
the print station. This parameter, when enabled, opens and closes the platen
when the perforations move across the platen. When enabling this parameter,
you must set the forms length to match the physical distance between
perforations
Slow Paper Slew

maximum speed.
