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.
•
PI Ignored
. The PI (Paper Instruction) signal is used to control vertical
paper motion.
•
Enable
(factory default). Ignores the PI signal and treats the data as
characters or control codes.
•
Disable
. Causes the printer to interpret the eight data lines as VFU
commands when the PI signal is true.
•
Data Polarity
. The Data Polarity parameter must be set to match the data
polarity of your host computer.
•
Standard
(factory default). Does not expect the host computer to
invert the data.
•
Inverted
. Expects the data received on the data lines from the host
computer to be inverted. Ones become zeros and vice versa.
•
Resp. Polarity
. The Response Polarity parameter must be set to match
the response polarity of your host computer.
•
Standard
(factory default). Does not invert the response signal.
•
Inverted
. Inverts the response signal sent to the host computer.
•
Busy on Strobe
•
Enable
(factory default). Asserts a busy signal after each character is
received.
•
Disable
. Asserts a busy signal only when the print buffers are full.
•
Latch Data On
. Specifies whether the data is read on the leading or
trailing edge of the data strobe signal.
The options are Leading (factory default) and Trailing.

Prime Signal
•
Disable
(factory default). A prime signal from the host is ignored.
•
Enable
. A prime signal from the host resets the printer.
•
TOF Action
•
Reset
(factory default). If the printer is reset by a prime signal the
printer first moves to the next TOF.
•
Do Nothing
. If the printer is reset by a prime signal the printer will not
move to the next TOF.
•
Buffer Size in K
. This option configures the amount of memory allocated
for the Ethernet buffer. The range is 1-16 Kbytes, in 1-Kbyte increments.
The factory default is 16 Kbytes.
