2.2 PRINT FEATURES.

The Print Features are used to customize the print format of

the IDS152 and to match the requirements of the 'host' device

.

1. AUTOMATIC LINE-FEED AFTER CARRAGE RETURN (Default = ON)

The printer inserts a line feed command whenever it
receives a carriage return command. Turn this feature on if
your 'host' device does not send a linefeed after a carriage
return. (see section 3.2.1)
2. AUTOMATIC PAPER RELEASE (Default = ON)
In some applications, the sending device can't send a
RELEASE paper command. The automatic paper release feature
releases the paper after printing the last line received.
(see section 3.2.2)
3. AUTOMATIC PRINT WRAP (Default = ON)
If more than 40 characters (20 char Enhanced) are sent
without a linefeed, the overflow data is automatically
printed on the next line. If automatic print wrap is
turned off, the overflow data is lost. (see section 3.2.3)

4. MULTI-STRIKE PRINT (Default = OFF)

The multi-strike feature prints each line from 2 to 10
times. This increases the legibility of the print in
multi-copy tickets. (see section 3.2.4)

NOTE: The MULTI-STRIKE feature prints in a single direction. If

MULTI-STRIKE is selected, it will over-ride the bi-direction
select.

5. BI-DIRECTIONAL PRINT (Default = ON)

The printer normally prints bi-directionally for faster
operation. (see section 3.2.5)

6. INVERT PRINT (Default = OFF)

The invert print feature inverts the print (upside down).
The ticket is inserted upside down for printing. This
feature is used to print on the left side of a document.
(see section 3.2.6)

7. INHIBIT PRINT IF PAPER EMPTY. (Default = ON)

The printer will not print if the paper empty light is on.
Turn this feature OFF if the edge of your ticket has holes
that do not cover the paper-sensor. (see section 3.2.7)

8. TOP MARGIN. (Default = 0)

The top margin is used to skip from 1 to 9 lines down the
ticket before printing. (see section 3.2.8)

9. LEFT MARGIN. (Default = 0)

The left margin is used to move the printed text to the
right. The left margin is 0 to 18 characters long.
NOTE: If invert print is used, the text will be moved to
the left. (see section 3.2.9)

10. PRINT SIZES. (Normal, Enhanced, Mixed). (Default = Norm)

The Normal is 12 char/in (typewriter size). The Enhanced
print is 6 char/in (double width). The Mixed size prints
text in normal size and numbers in enhanced size.
(see section 3.2.10)
