Chapter 4 PRINTER CONTROL
Open Platen @ BOF (Bottom of Form)
Some special forms have perforation areas that are too thick to pass through
the print station. This parameter, when enabled, opens and closes the platen
when the perforations move across the platen. When enabling this parameter,
you must set the forms length to match the physical distance between
perforations.
Bar Code Quality
Determines the bar code resolution for all emulations.
• Dark (default). Bar code resolution is set at 120 x 72.
• Draft . Bar code resolution is set at 60 x 72.
Tear Bar Dist. (Distance)
Allows fine and course adjustment of the tear bar position. For a pedestal
model printer using the top paper exit, the default
(7.46 inches) is used. You can specify 4.5 to 10.5 inches in .01 inch
increments to accommodate variations in cover and form design.
View Function
• Disable (default). Disables the View Function which allows you to press
the VIEW/EJECT key to move the last data printed to the tractor area for
viewing.
• Enable . Enables the View Function.
NOTE: Default setting is Enable for Indian language printers.
Unidirectional
The Unidirectional feature affects both print quality and printing speed. By
setting this feature, you can configure the printer to print in both directions of
the shuttle sweep (bidirectional), or to print in one direction only
(unidirectional).
• Disable (default). The printer will print all data in both directions of the
shuttle sweep (bidirectional printing). This choice produces higher printing
speed.
• Enable . The printer will print all data in only one direction of the shuttle
sweep (unidirectional printing). Although enabling this feature reduces
print speed, it enhances the vertical alignment of dots and produces
cleaner, sharper barcodes and text.
Display Language
This parameter chooses the language that will appear on the LCD: English or
Simplified Chinese. The factory default is Simp. Chinese.
