3. Configuring the Printer 3.1 What is Configuring This chapter describes how to use the operator panel and menu settings to set up or configure your printer so that the printer and your computer system can communicate correctly with each other. Communication between the two requires that both the computer operating system and the printer have the same communication settings or features. The most important of those are: S S S S S protocol, baud rate, word length, I/F type, parity.

In some cases this might lead to a conflict with font designs. The pitch setting is, therefore, a matter of personal taste. S LINE Determines the number of lines per inch (line space). S EMULATION The emulation determines the set of commands available for the printer (see Appendix D and E).
PAGE 71
Description of the Individual Menu Items S LEFT MARGIN The left margin is set in 1/10" steps, depending on the actual selection. The first left margin position is 1/20" from the left edge of the paper which means that the letter H in regular "Data" font would be positioned 1/20" from the left edge of the paper. The left margin can be set to a maximum of 16/10".
PAGE 72
Description of the Individual Menu Items S PERF. SKIP If PERF. SKIP is set to YES the printer starts to print after the specified top margin and stops printing before the bottom margin. If PERF. SKIP is set to NO the printer ignores top and bottom margin and prints from the very first to the very last line. That means that on a standard 11" paper 66 lines are available for printing. S TEAR-OFF-MODE There are three possible settings within this mode: S NO S TEAR-OFF 10 S. S TEAR-OFF 1 S.

Options 7.2.3 Installing the ASF Cassettes S Push the tabs (1) of the cassette into the slots (3) of the printer or of another ASF cassette until they engage. Note: S S Be careful not to damage the contacts (2) of the cassette while installing. Up to three ASF cassettes can be installed at any time to enable processing of different paper types and formats simultaneously.
PAGE 108
Options The position of each cassette is dependent on the paper length to be processed. The cassette with the shortest paper needs to be mounted first because the distance between the pick-up rollers of the cassette and the push rollers inside the printer is the shortest at position '1'. For example, if envelopes are to be processed cassette type B needs to be cassette '1'.

Appendix F Barcode Quick Reference 1. Introduction The barcode print facility is available in all three emulations. 2. Programming There are three escape sequences to print barcodes - The first sequence is to define the Barcode Header. The type of barcode as well as all parameters are selected by a header. The header does not affect any parameters outside the barcode application and remains valid until another header is transmitted or the printer is turned off.

Appendix F Barcode Quick Reference 2.2 Barcode Programming Examples Note: All examples are coded in standard uni-directional printing - that means the parameter "P7" is not used. In the following examples, 8 stands for "Space". The small square before and after the printed barcode indicates the actual print position. Between Start Barcode and Stop Barcode are only printable characters tolerated (no CR or LF).
