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 28 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 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/P 2 mode. When you select IBM 2390 Plus, the printer 
emulates an IBM printer.
