CR, EM, & NL
CR (Carriage Return), EM (Error Message), & NL (New Line) specify that the
printer treat the CR, EM, and NL control codes either as spaces or as control
codes.
• On. Treats the CR, EM, and NL commands as control codes.
• Off. Treats the CR, EM, and NL commands as spaces.
The factory default is On.
Data Bit 8
• Enable. The PI line is not passed directly from host to printer; all 8 bits are
used for data bits, and characters in the hex 80-FF range can be
accessed.
• Disable. When the host PI line is enabled, data bit 8 internally indicates
PI line status. To use the PI line, disable data bit 8, and enable the Host PI
configuration option (under the PI Ignored option).
NOTE: Data bit 8 is interpreted as either data bit 8 or PI signal, but never
both. When enabled as data bit 8, data bit 8 has priority over the PI
signal, and all data above hex 7F is used to access character data
and not to interpret PI line data.
Conversely, when data bit 8 is disabled and the PI signal is used, data
bit 8 of the data is reserved for use as the PI function, and you cannot
access characters in the hex 80-FF range. Therefore, to access
characters in the hex 80-FF range, data bit 8 must be enabled.
The factory default is Enable.
