Skip-over-perforation
This feature is available only when continuous paper is selected.
When you turn on this feature, the printer provides a one-inch
(25.4 mm) margin between the last line printed on one page and
the first line printed on the next page. Because most application
programs set their own top and bottom margins, you should use
this feature only if you cannot set your top and bottom margins
using your application.
Auto tear-off
When auto tear-off is on and you are using continuous paper
with the tractor, the printer automatically advances the paper
perforation to the tear-off position, where you can easily tear
off the printed page(s). When the printer receives data again, it
automatically moves the paper back to the top-of-form position
and starts printing, so you can use all of the next page.
When auto tear-off is turned off, you need to move the perforation
to the tear-off position manually by pressing the
Te a r O ff/ Bin
button. See “Using the tear-off function” in Chapter 3 for more
information.
Auto line feed
When auto line feed is on, the printer accompanies each carriage
return (CR) code received with a line feed (LF) code.
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.
