Format Control
FORMAT CONTROL enables the printer to reflect the same spacing as
6408/6412 Model CT0 printers after absolute and relative move commands
are executed. The following options are available:
• ENABLE reflects 6408/6412 Model CT0 distance, generated by the
Code V feature, IGP feature, and Hex Transparent control code
sequence, in the new position (after absolute and relative move
commands are executed).
• DISABLE (the default) does not reflect distance, generated by the Code
V feature, IGP feature, and Hex Transparent control code sequence, in
the new position (after absolute and relative move commands are
executed).
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.
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.
