Chapter 4. Configuration Menus
Image Buffer Size
IMAGE BUFFER SIZE (screen buffer size) allows you to select the
following image buffer sizes:
• 4K (the default)
• 2K
A POR status is sent to the host when the printer is made READY.
Intervention Required
Select from SEND TO HOST or NOT SEND TO HOST (the default).
If SEND TO HOST is selected, the printer sends a signal to the host
computer when any of the following occur:
• Printer faults occur.
• Hold mode time-out occurs.
If not selected, the printer will only send the signal on printer faults that
cause data loss (paper jam, ribbon stall, online platen open, etc.).
Translate Table
This parameter defines which translate table to use for printing. The
following options are available:
• DEFAULT (the default) translates data by using the default table of the
current character set.
• DOWNLOADED translates data from EBCDIC to internal code by using
the downloaded translate table.
Override Host
OVERRIDE HOST determines whether the printer executes certain
commands sent by the host, or continues to use the current settings. The
following host commands are ignored when OVERRIDE HOST is enabled:
line length, forms length, lines per inch (LPI), characters per inch (CPI),
print quality, and text orientation (i.e. left to right). When OVERRIDE
HOST is enabled, these settings retain their operator panel settings.
• DISABLE (the default) allows certain host commands (line length, forms
length, LPI, CPI, print quality, and text orientation) to override operator
panel settings. Note that the information appearing on the message
display may not match the data stream setting. No values will change
upon initial selection of the disable option.
• ENABLE permits operator panel settings to override host data stream
commands.
