Auto tear-off
When auto tear-off is on and you are using continuous paper
with the front or rear push tractor, the printer automatically
advances the paper perforation to the tear-off position, where
you can easily tear off the printed page(s). When the printer
receives data again, it automatically moves the paper back to
the top-of-form position and starts printing, so you can use all
of the next page.
When auto tear-off is off and you are using continuous paper
with the front or rear push tractor, you need to move the
perforation to the tear-off position manually by pressing the
Tear Off/Bin
button. See “Advancing the Paper to the Tear-Off
Edge” in Chapter 3 for more information.
Auto line feed
When auto line feed is on, the printer accompanies each
carriage return (CR) code received with a line feed (LF) code.
Print direction
You can select auto print direction, bidirectional printing (
Bi-D
),
or unidirectional printing (
Uni-D
). Printing is normally
bidirectional; however, unidirectional printing allows for
precise vertical printing alignment.
Software
When you select
ESC/P
, the printer operates in the EPSON
ESC/P mode. When you select
IBM
, the printer emulates an
IBM printer.
