Default-Setting Mode Input buffer The input buffer stores data sent from your computer. The input buffer can store up to 24 KB of data, so you can free your computer for other tasks in a shorter time while the printer prints. When the buffer is off, the buffer can store no data, so the computer must wait for the printer to print each character before sending the next. Draft print speed When you select high-speed draft, the printer can print up to 380 cps (characters per second) at 10 cpi in draft mode. If you select normal speed draft, you can print up to 285 cps at 10 cpi in draft mode. Auto carriage return When the auto carriage return is valid, each line feed (LF) code or ESC J (n/216-inch line feed) code is always accompanied by a carriage return (CR) code. The printer always moves the next print position to the left margin when it receives the LF or ESC J code. When this feature is invalid, you must send the CR code after the line feed code to move the print position to the left margin. This feature is available in IBM emulation mode only. 3-8 Using the Printer

Default-Setting Mode
Input buffer
The input buffer stores data sent from your computer. The input
buffer can store up to 24 KB of data, so you can free your computer
for other tasks in a shorter time while the printer prints. When the
buffer is off, the buffer can store no data, so the computer must wait
for the printer to print each character before sending the next.
Draft print speed
When you select high-speed draft, the printer can print up to 380 cps
(characters per second) at 10 cpi in draft mode. If you select normal
speed draft, you can print up to 285 cps at 10 cpi in draft mode.
Auto carriage return
When the auto carriage return is valid, each line feed (LF) code or
ESC J (n/216-inch line feed) code is always accompanied by a
carriage return (CR) code. The printer always moves the next print
position to the left margin when it receives the LF or ESC J code.
When this feature is invalid, you must send the CR code after the
line feed code to move the print position to the left margin.
This feature is available in IBM emulation mode only.
