32 Using the EDS Mode
Switch 6: Multi-Part Mode
Specifies whether the printer’s Multi-Part Mode is enabled (OFF) or disabled
(ON). When the Multi-Part Mode is enabled (OFF), the impact of the print head
is increased, but head life is decreased. Enable the Multi-Part Mode when
printing on 4 to 5-ply paper. Disable the Multi-Part Mode when printing on 1 to
3-ply paper.
BANK B
Switch 1: Graphics Direction
Selects uni-directional (OFF) or bi-directional (ON) printing for graphics. Bi-
directional printing (ON) is faster, while uni-directional (OFF) printing
generally provides better print quality in the graphics mode.
Switch 2: Auto Tear-off (Long)
Specifies whether the printer’s auto tear-off (long) feature (page 24) is enabled
(OFF) or disabled (ON). Note that this setting controls the application
software’s tear-off function only. It does not affect the manual tear-off function
that is performed using the control panel buttons as described on page 18. The
manual tear-off function is always enabled.
Switch 3: Line Spacing
Selects 1/6-inch (ON) or 1/8-inch (OFF) spacing between lines.
Switch 4: Auto LF with CR
Specifies whether auto LF with CR is enabled (OFF) or disabled (ON). When
auto LF with CR is enabled (OFF), the printer automatically performs a line
feed whenever it receives a carriage return from the computer. When it is
disabled (ON), the computer must send both a line feed code and a carriage
return code at the end of each line. Most applications do this automatically. Note
the following check points when trying to figure out which setting to use here:
✓
If you find that your output is double-spaced when it should not be, turn
this switch ON (Disabled).
✓
If you find that lines are printing over each other, turn this switch OFF
(Enabled).
Switch 5: Zero Style
Specifies whether a normal zero (ON) or a slashed zero (OFF) will be used.
Selecting Normal (ON) prints zeros without lines running through them, while
Slashed (OFF) prints zeros with a diagonal slash running through them.
Switch 6: Reserved
