STAR TSP400 print modes when used with the
HAL
The TSP400 can be configured for page mode or line mode. Although
these settings could be changed by the software, either a power on-off
or software reset cycle would be required to effect the changes. A
software reset causes a self-test print to be produced.
It is therefore necessary to manually configure the printer for ‘page
mode with top of form enabled’ when printing labels, and ‘line mode with
top of form disabled’ when printing lists. How to do this using the
printer’s front panel is documented in the printer’s user’s manual, but a
brief summary is in the following table:
