Auto line feed
When auto line feed is on, the printer accompanies each carriage
return (CR) code received with a line feed code. When this feature
is on, the print position moves to the beginning of the next line. If
the printer adds an extra line after every carriage return, select
Off.
Print direction
You can select auto print direction, 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, serial interface, and an
interface slot in which you can install one optional interface. For
information on using an optional interface, see page A-3.
If your printer is connected to only one computer, select Parallel,
Serial, or Optional for the interface mode, depending on the
interface you use. If your printer is connected to more than one
computer, select Auto (automatic) to allow the printer to
automatically switch between interfaces depending on which one
is receiving data.
Auto I/F (interface) wait time
This setting takes effect only if an optional interface is installed
and the auto interface mode is selected. This setting determines
how long the printer waits when it no longer receives data from
an interface before it checks whether a print job is being sent
through the other interface. You can specify 10 seconds or
30 seconds for the auto interface wait time.
