Using the Printer
Print direction
You can select auto print direction (Auto), bidirectional printing
(Bi-D), or unidirectional printing (Uni-D). Printing is normally
bidirectional for faster printing; however, unidirectional printing
allows for precise vertical printing alignment, which is useful for
printing graphics.
When set to Auto, the printer analyzes the data and uses
unidirectional printing only for lines which require vertical
printing alignment.
Software
When you select ESC/P2, the printer operates in the EPSON
ESC/P2 mode. When you select IBM 2390 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 this feature is turned off. The slash allows
you to easily distinguish between the uppercase letter O and a
zero.
High speed draft
When you choose On, the printer prints up to 300 cps (characters
per second) at 10 cpi (characters per inch). When you choose Off,
the printer prints up to 225 cps at 10 cpi.
I/F (interface) mode
The printer comes with a built-in parallel interface and serial
interface.
