Skip over perforation
When DIP switch 1-7 is on, the printer inserts a one-inch
margin between the last line printed on one page and the first
line printed on the next page. By adjusting your top-of-form
position, you can get half the margin at the bottom of one page
and half at the top of the next page. See “Adjusting the
top-of-form position” in Chapter 3. Since most application
programs insert their own top and bottom margins, you should
use this feature only if your program does not provide them.
Print direction
When DIP switch 1-8 is on, you can set unidirectional printing.
When DIP switch 1-8 is off, you can set bidirectional. Printing
is normally bidirectional; however, unidirectional printing
allows for precise vertical printing alignment.
Page length (for front/ rear tractor)
To set page lengths other than those listed in Table B (Front)
and Table C (Rear), see the printer commands in Appendix B.
Be sure to set the page length to match the paper you plan to
use.
Auto tear off
When DIP switch 3-1 is on, the printer automatically feeds
continuous paper to the printer’s tear-off edge. To adjust the
tear-off position, use the
Micro Feed
buttons to align the
paper’s perforation with the printer’s tear-off edge. See
“Adjusting the tear-off position” in Chapter 3.
Zero slash
When DIP switch 3-2 is on, the printer prints slashed zeros (0).
When the DIP switch is off, the printer prints open zeros (0).
This feature is useful for clearly distinguishing between an
uppercase “O” character and a zero when printing documents
such as program lists.
