FORM LENGTH is used to set the size of paper in use. The standard options are 6 inches, 8
inches , 11 inches (“Letter”), 11.66 inches (“A4”), 12 inches or 14 inches (“Legal”).
PAGE SKIP is used to make the printer ‘skip over’ the perforations in continuous paper, leaving
a half inch margin above and below. Most software packages specify that this should be OFF
TEXT DIR or NLQ DIR and GRAPHIC DIR specify whether the print head prints when travelling
in both directions (BI-DIR) or only one (UNI-DIR). Bi-directional printing is faster; unidirectional
printing can improve the alignment of successive print lines where this is critical; for example,
for graphics.
AGM MODE (Alternate Graphics Mode) is only available when IBM emulation is selected: the
effect is to change all line spacing from the 24 pin values (n160, n/180 inch) to 9 pin values (n/
72, n/2 16 inch), thus enabling the use of 9 pin graphics on a 24 pin printer.
SLASH ZERO is used to make the zero character have a cross-slash (off by default).
CHARACTER SET for IBM or Epson emulations allows you to select alternative character sets
(“high-bit” graphics for IBM and italics for Epson).
INTL CHAR SET (international character set) and CODE PAGE functions allow you to select
from a choice of national language character sets. The list of nation language character sets is
always changing and we refer you to our web site for further information on this. Details of this
are shown at the beginning of the manual under the section “for the latest information”
OPTION RAM only appears when extra RAM is installed, where available. It enables you to
control whether the additional RAM is used to increase the print buffer or to hold downloaded
characters.
TEAR OFF allows easy tearing of continuous paper as the printer feeds the form to the perfora-
tions.
PAPER OUT allows you to enable or disable the paper-out sensor.
AUTO CR (Automatic Carriage Return) for IBM emulation, sets automatic carriage return ON
or OFF. Most software packages specify that it should be OFF.
AUTO LF (Automatic Line Feed) sets automatic line feed ON or OFF. Most software packages
specify that it should be OFF.
COPY MODE makes the print head strike harder. This gives clearer copies when printing multi-
part stationery, but decreases the print speed.
ENVELOPE is used to set the printer in envelope printing mode.
The Install Menu Group
The install menu group is displayed on the control panel when slide switch SW1 is set to IN-
STALL. It s used to enable envelope printing mode and to quickly configure the printer when it is
used with various optional accessories.
