Using the Printer

Print direction

You can select bidirectional printing (Bi-D) or unidirectional

printing (Uni-D). Printing is normally bidirectional for faster

printing; however, unidirectional printing allows for precise

vertical printing alignment, which is useful for printing graphics.

Software

When you select EPSON ESC/P, the printer operates in the

EPSON EPSON ESC/P mode. When you select IBM 2380 Plus (for

LX-300+)/IBM 2381 Plus (for LX-1170), the printer emulates an

IBM printer.

0 slash

The zero character has a slash ( ) when this feature is turned on.

It has no slash (0) when this feature is turned off. The slash allows

you to easily distinguish between the uppercase letter O and a

zero.

High speed draft

When you choose On, the printer prints up to 300 cps (characters

per second) at 10 cpi (characters per inch). When you choose Off,

the printer prints up to 225 cps at 10 cpi.

I/F (interface) mode

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

interface.

If your printer is connected to only one computer, select Parallel

or Serial for the interface mode, depending on the interface you

use. If your printer is connected to two computers, select Auto

(automatic) to allow the printer to automatically switch between

interfaces depending on which one is receiving data.
