Graphic print direction You can choose unidirectional or bidirectional as the print direction for graphics. The printer usually prints text bidirectionally for fast printing and prints graphics unidirectionally for precise vertical alignment of print dots. To print graphics faster, select bidirectional printing. If you have installed the motor unit included with the color upgrade kit, make sure the printing direction is always unidirectional even when you are using the black ribbon. Download You must turn on the download function before you download fonts or other user-defined characters to the printer's memory. If you are not using user-defined characters, turn off download to increase the printer's memory capacity and the printing speed. Auto line feed When the auto line feed feature is on, each carriage return (CR) code is accompanied by a line feed (LF) code. If your printed text is unexpectedly double spaced, set this option off. If text lines print on top of each other, set it on. Hex dump/Demonstration The hex dump/demonstration feature lets you print a hexadecimal dump or a demonstration page. If you choose hex dump and then run an application program, the printer prints the exact codes (in hexadecimal format) it receives from the computer. You can analyze this information to isolate communication problems If you select demonstration, the printer prints a page of text and font selections available with your printer.

direction for graphics. The printer usually prints text
bidirectionally for fast printing and prints graphics
unidirectionally for precise vertical alignment of print dots. To
print graphics faster, select bidirectional printing. If you have
installed the motor unit included with the color upgrade kit,
make sure the printing direction is always unidirectional even
when you are using the black ribbon.

fonts or other user-defined characters to the printer’s memory.
If you are not using user-defined characters, turn off download
to increase the printer’s memory capacity and the printing

When the auto line feed feature is on, each carriage return (CR)
code is accompanied by a line feed (LF) code. If your printed
text is unexpectedly double spaced, set this option off. If text
lines print on top of each other, set it on.
