Chapter 4. Configuration Menus
Maximum Printable Width
MAXIMUM PRINTABLE WIDTH sets the maximum width of the printer
when using a CT host interface.
• 13.2 INCHES (the default)
• 13.6 INCHES
NOTE: The twinax interface menu and coax interface menu option for
maximum printable width use the same internal variable. Setting
this option in either menu will make it the current setting for the
printer, independent of the interface used.
NOTE: Although the LP+ emulation maintains width in characters, the
maximum printable width in characters is controlled by the same
internal variable that is set by the twinax interface menu and coax
interface menu option for maximum printable width option.
Hex Print Mode
When enabled, the HEX PRINT MODE parameter prints the EBCDIC data
and control codes received from the host as hex values. Refer to page 6–9 to
obtain a hex code printout.
NOTE: Printing in Hex Mode may alter print attributes set by the host
computer. A power cycle may be required after changing HEX
PRINT MODE from enable to disable.
C/T Hotport
Gives the printer the ability to handle multiple data streams simultaneously.
It allows the printer to service hosts attached to the serial, parallel, and either
coax or twinax ports as if they were the only interface connected.
Report Status
When this option is enabled, faults are reported even if the fault is not on the
current active port. If the option is disabled, a fault on the printer is reported
only if it occurs on the active port.
