Operator's Guide 85
Overlay Characters
Pressing
YES
prints out the present settings:
•
None (factory default)
•
OCR A
•
OCR B
•
Accept User-Defined Characters
You can alter any active character set by overlaying one or more
characters with either a predefined or a customized character map.
The printer contains two sets of predefined optical character recognition
(OCR) maps. If you press
YES
to either OCR A or OCR B, the printer
overlays some of the characters in the active characters set with these
OCR characters. Your selection also becomes the default condition when
you turn on the printer; for example, if you have selected the OCR A
overlay and the NLQ
*
mode as defaults, then the active characters are
OCR A characters when you turn on the printer. See Appendix D for OCR
character maps.
If you press
YES
to "Accept User-Defined Characters," then downloaded
characters presently in and/or subsequently downloaded to RAM using
universal control commands can be mapped to the active character set.
For the printer to accept downloaded customized characters, "Input Buffer
Size" must be set to "Minimum" (Page 70). Unlike ROM-resident OCR
characters, RAM-resident downloaded characters are lost when you turn
off the printer.
*
OCR characters are only allowed in Near Letter Quality (NLQ) mode. You cannot print OCR in draft quality
mode.
