Auto tear off When Auto tear off is on and you are using continuous paper with the push tractor, the printer automatically advances the paper perforation to the tear-off position, where you can easily tear off the printed pages. When the printer receives the next print job, it automatically moves the unused 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 off, you need to move the perforation to the tear-off position by pressing the control panel button. See "Using the Tear Off button" on page 24 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 code, and the print position moves to the next line. If the printer adds an extra line after every carriage return, select Off. Print direction You can select bidirectional printing (Bi-D) or unidirectional printing (Uni-D). Printing is normally bidirectional because it is faster. Unidirectional printing, however, allows for precise vertical printing alignment, which is useful for printing graphics. Software When you select ESC/P, the printer operates in the EPSON ESC/P mode. When you select IBM 2380 Plus, the printer emulates an IBM printer. 0 slash The zero character has a slash ( ) when this feature is turned on. It has no slash (0) when it is turned off.
