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. Software You can select the kind of printer commands used by your printer. When you select ESC/P 2TM, the printer emulates an EPSON ESC / P 2 printer. When you select IBM X24E, the printer operates as an IBM ProprinterTM X24E. If possible, choose an EPSON ESC/ P 2 printer in your software programs. This will allow you to use the most advanced font and graphics handling available. (Emulation means that the printer can understand and respond to commands as if it were an X24E.) AGM (Alternate Graphics Mode) When A.GM is set to On, the printer can use high-resolution 24-pin graphics commands. The default setting is off. When you select IBM X24E, this setting is available. 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 feature to Off. If text lines print on top of each other, set it to On. 2-24 Using the Printer

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.

printer.
When you select ESC/P 2
TM
, the printer emulates an EPSON
ESC / P 2 printer. When you select IBM X24E, the printer
operates as an IBM Proprinter
TM
X24E. If possible, choose an
EPSON ESC/ P 2 printer in your software programs. This will
allow you to use the most advanced font and graphics handling
available. (Emulation means that the printer can understand
and respond to commands as if it were an X24E.)
AGM (Alternate Graphics Mode)
When A.GM is set to On, the printer can use high-resolution
24-pin graphics commands. The default setting is off. When
you select IBM X24E, this setting is available.
