Chapter 4: Printer menu settings
4-13
Auto Select: If a sheet of paper has been fed automatically from the
paper support when the setting is No, the printer stays in the OFF
LINE status. If Yes is selected, the printer switches to ON LINE
when a sheet of paper is fed and the SEL lamp lights.
Graphics Speed: By means of this menu item, the printing speed
for graphics of a lower resolution can be increased by selecting
High.
Centering Position: This menu item is used to set the preferred po-
sition of the print head to suit the width of the paper format to be
printed. The resultant reduction in print head movement optimises
penetration, and over-saturation of the ribbon is largely avoided.
Refer to the table below to choose the recommended menu settings
for the width of the paper format to be printed. Depending on the
type of paper, it may be that the MODE1 and MODE2 settings can
be used with paper widths larger than stated in the table. With
heavier paper that is wider than A4, the DEFAULT setting may be
necessary.

The diagram shows the
preferred position of the print
head in relation to the
selected menu item. The print
head is driven from this
position to the next print
position, with the shortest
possible path being chosen.
