4.2.4 GENERAL MENU
In the GENERAL MENU the operating parameters for each job are fixed.
EMULATION
The Emulation determines the printer's set of command codes.
Default emulation is PCL (PCL5E).
The function HEXDUMP is useful to analyze the data received by the printer.
Control codes are not executed, instead all data including command codes are
printed out in hexadecimal format and as ASCII characters. Any none-printable
character, such as CR, is represented as a dot (.) in the ASCII list.
AUTO FORM FEED
If the print data does not fill a complete page or if there is no Form Feed command
(HEX 0C) at the end of a page this page is not printed out. The page remains in the
printer memory if this parameter is set to OFF and is printed when the page is fed
manually. Such a not completed page is automatically printed out after a selectable
time period at the end of a print job. (Break in data stream) The time period can be
set from 1 to 120 second. The time out will also be activated at the end of the print
job.
AUTO TEAR OFF
The automatic feed at the end of a print job is to tear off controlled by this
parameter. Using setting OFF eliminates the feed.
A required feed can be reached by a time setting of 1 to 120 seconds.
TEAR OFF TIME
This parameter specifies how long the paper stays at the tear-off position. The
paper can be separated by the operator in the set period. After the set time moves
the paper automatically backwards on to the next print line. The adjustment range
is between zero and 120 seconds. The factory default is 10 seconds
TEAR OFF SHIFT
This parameter allows to precisely position the perforation at the tear-off edge. The
adjustment can be done from –
192
/
24
to +
192
/
24
of an inch in steps of
1
/
24
inch. The
factory default is
0
/
24
inch.
PAPER RETRACT
Using setting ON, the paper will be after the end of the print job again retracted to
the first print line. This setting prevented blank pages between the print jobs.
The OFF parameter causes that the last page stops on the TEAR OFF position.
This setting creates a certain number of blank pages between the TEAR OFF
position and the following first print line. The number of empty pages X depends
on the used page length.
X = (444 mm + page length in mm – 1) / page length in mm
