Item Explanation
Pitch Selects the pitch (the horizontal spacing) of the font in fixed pitch, measured in cpi
(characters per inch). You can also choose proportional spacing.

10 cpi, 12cpi, 15cpi, 17cpi, 20cpi, 24cpi, Prop.
Code Page Selects the character tables. Character tables contain the characters and symbols used by
different languages. The printer prints text based on the selected character table.

437, 850, 858, 860, 863, 865
T.Margin Sets the distance from the top of the page to the baseline of the first printable line. The
distance is measured in inches. The smaller the value, the closer the printable line is to the
top.
Settings (default in bold):
0.30 ... 0.40 ... 1.50 inch in 0.05-inch increments
Text Sets the page length in lines. For this option, a line is assumed to be 1 pica (1/6 inch). If you
change the Orientation, Page Size, or T.Margin settings, the page length setting
automatically returns to the default for each paper size.
Settings (default in bold):
1 ... 67 Lines
Auto CR Specifies whether the printer performs a carriage-return/line-feed (CR-LF) operation
whenever the printing position goes beyond the right margin. If you select Off, the
printer does not print any characters beyond the right margin and does not perform any
line wrapping until it receives a carriage-return character. This function is handled
automatically by most applications.
Settings (default in bold):
On, Off
Auto LF If you select Off, the printer does not send an automatic line-feed (LF) command with
each carriage-return (CR). If On is selected, a line-feed command is sent with each
carriage-return. Select On if your text lines overlap.
Settings (default in bold):
Off, On
Alt. Graphics Turns the Alternate Graphics option on or off.
Settings (default in bold):

Bit Image The printer is able to emulate the graphics densities set with the printer commands. If you
select Dark, the bit image density is high, and if you select Light, the bit image density is
low.
Settings (default in bold):
