LinePrinter Plus Emulation

Define LF Code

The Define LF Code option controls the action of the printer when it receives a
Line Feed code (hex 0A) from the host computer. If this feature is enabled,
each time the printer receives a Line Feed, it inserts an additional Carriage
Return code (hex 0D) into the data stream. This feature is required if the host
computer does not send Carriage Returns to the printer.

LF = LF. Does not add a Carriage Return with a Line Feed.

LF = CR + LF. Adds an extra Carriage Return with each Line Feed.

Printer Select

Disable. Ignores the ASCII DC1 and DC3 control codes.

Enable. Disables the printer when a DC1 control code is received, and
enables the printer when a DC3 control code is received.

Character Set

This parameter selects a character set for the Epson emulation, as shown in
the page 147. Note that when OCR-A or OCR-B is selected as the print
language, the Font Attribute Typeface option under the LinePrinter Plus menu
(page 127) is changed to OCR-A or OCR-B, respectively.

To use one of these sets, choose the desired group heading (such as
European Sets) and press ENTER. Then choose the desired set within that
group (such as Roman 8) and press ENTER. Both the group and the desired
set will be starred to indicate your selection. Character sets are shown in
detail in the

Character Sets Reference Manual.

20 CPI Condensed

Compressed print characters are narrower than the normal character set.
This is helpful for applications where you need to print the maximum amount
of information on a page.

Enable. Prints about 60 percent of the width of normal characters when
compressed print is chosen by the host computer.

Disable. Does not compress print widths, even if condensed print is
chosen by the host.

Alt. Set 80-9F

Determines whether the printer processes ASCII codes hex 80 through hex
9F as control codes or as printable characters.
