EPSON STYLUS 1000 Note: Most software programs control the character table and auto line feed. If your software program controls these features, you may never need to set them with the control panel. Default settings descriptions Character table Character tables contain the characters and symbols used by different languages. The printer prints text with the selected character table. When you select this feature, the font lights on the control panel go on or off to indicate the current selection. Auto print direction When auto print direction is set to on, the printer switches automatically between bidirectional (for text data) and unidirectional motion (for graphics data). When this feature is set to off, the print head motion is controlled by your software. Continuous-paper page length When you are printing on continuous paper, this feature lets you select from four page lengths. Skip-over-perforation When this feature is on and you are using continuous paper, the printer leaves a 1-inch (25.4-mm) margin between the last printable line on one page and the first printable line on the next page. This causes the printer to skip over the perforation between continuous sheets. Most software takes care of the top and bottom margins. Do not turn on skip-over-perforation unless your software does not provide these margins. Adjust your top-of-form position with the micro-feed feature to get half of the margin at the bottom of one page and half at the top of the next page. Network interface mode If your printer is connected to a single computer, leave this feature off. If you want to use the printer in a network environment and share it among multiple computers, set this feature to on. Note: When this feature is set to on, data may be present in the printer's buffer even though the printer is not continuously printing. Always make sure the DATA light is off before turning off the printer. Mixed text/graphics mode This feature is for software that has problems printing scalable font text combined with graphics. Leave the mixed text/graphics mode set to off if you do not notice any problems in your printout. 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. Auto interface selection This feature is necessary when an optional interface card is installed and interface cables are connected to both the parallel interface and the optional interface card. When this feature is on, the printer determines which interface receives data and then switches to that interface until the end of the print job (when no data is received from the selected interface for the amount of time specified by the Auto interface wait time). Usually, you should set this feature to on. When this feature is set to off, the printer receives data only from the interface specified by the DIP switch on the optional interface card. Auto interface wait time This feature is necessary when the auto interface selection is set to on. If the data from the computer is not sent within the specified period, the printer re-determines the source of any new data. Otherwise, the printer receives data only from the currently selected interface and ignores data from the other interface. You can set the time to either 10 seconds or 30 seconds. Tear off You can set this feature on to select tear-off mode. Use the tear-off feature only with continuous paper. Do not use the tear-off feature with labels. Changing the default settings To change the printer's default settings, follow the steps below: 1. Make sure the printer is turned off and paper is loaded in the paper feeder. 2. Hold down the ECONOMY/CONDENSED button and turn on the printer to enter the default-settings mode. The printer loads a sheet of paper and prints a brief summary and instructions. It instructs you to select the language that you want messages printed in (English, French, German, Italian, or Spanish). Ink Jet Printers 4/26/94 EPSON STYLUS 1000-5
