88 Control Panel
Platen gap
This setting allows you to set the paper thickness. When you
select Auto, the printer automatically adjusts the platen for the
thickness of the paper loaded. If you want to set it manually,
select 0 to 14. When using overlapping multi-part forms, select 0
to 14 according to the paper thickness you use.
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 and Micro Feed buttons. See “Tearing Off the Printed
Pages” on page 33 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 bidirectional printing (Bi-D) or unidirectional
printing (Uni-D). Printing is normally bidirectional; however,
unidirectional printing allows for precise vertical printing
alignment.
