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. Treats the CR, EM, and NL commands as control codes.

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

The factory default is On.

Data Bit 8

Enable. 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.

The factory default is Enable.
