5-6 Changing Printer Settings From the Printer’s Control Panel

Auto tear off

When you turn on this setting and print on continuous paper

with the front or rear push tractor, the printer automatically

advances the paper perforation to the tear-off position, where you

can easily tear off the printed page(s). When the printer receives

the next print job, it automatically moves the unused paper back

to the top-of-form position and starts printing, so no paper is

wasted between print jobs.

When you select Off and print on continuous paper with the front

or rear push tractor, you need to move the perforation to the tear-

off position manually by pressing the Tear Off/Bin button. See

“Advancing the Paper to the Tear-Off Edge” in Chapter 2 for

more information. (The tear-off feature is not available for paper

loaded on the pull tractor.)

Auto line feed

When you turn on this setting, each carriage return (CR) code

received by the printer is accompanied by a line feed code. This

moves the print position to the beginning of the next line. If the

printer adds an extra line after every carriage return, select Off.

Print direction

You can choose automatic print direction selection, bidirectional

printing (Bi-D), or unidirectional printing (Uni-D). Printing is

normally bidirectional; however, unidirectional printing allows

for precise vertical printing alignment, which is useful for

printing graphics.

I/F (interface) mode

The printer comes with a built-in parallel interface and an

interface slot in which you can install one optional interface. For

information on using an optional interface, see page A-3.
