Data Bit 8

Enable: Allows access to the extended ASCII character set.

Disable: The printer interprets bit 8 of each incoming data character as a zero,

regardless of its actual setting.

PI Ignored

The PI (Paper Instruction) signal controls vertical paper motion. It is dependent

on your host computer.

Enable: 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.
