Printronix Series 5 - Manual (Page 107)

4–54 Configuration Menus
NOTE: Host margin and tab settings will not be ignored whether or not
HOST OVERRIDE is enabled.
•
DISABLE allows certain host commands (line length, forms length, LPI,
CPI, print quality, and text orientation) to override operator panel
settings. Note that the information appearing on the message display
may not match the data stream setting. No values will change upon
initial selection of the disable option.
•
ENABLE permits operator panel settings to override host data stream
commands.
Format Control
FORMAT CONTROL enables the printer to reflect the same spacing as CTPC
model printers after absolute and relative move commands are executed. The
following options are available:
•
DISABLE reflects distance, generated by the IGP/VGL feature, IGP/PGL
feature, and Hex Transparent control code sequence, in the new
position (after absolute and relative move commands are executed).
•
ENABLE does not reflect distance, generated by the IGP/VGL feature,
IGP/PGL feature, and Hex Transparent control code sequence, in the
new position (after absolute and relative move commands are
executed).
Buffer Print
When enabled, the BUFFER PRINT parameter prints the EBCDIC data and
control codes received from the host as hex values. The output can be used to
troubleshoot printer data reception problems. Refer to Chapter 6 for information
on how to obtain a hex code printout.
NOTE: Use of this parameter may alter print attributes set by the host
computer. A power cycle may be required after changing BUFFER
PRINT from enable to disable.
