Font
Selects the font.
Pitch
Selects the pitch (the horizontal spacing) of the font in fixed pitch, measured in cpi (characters per
inch). You can also choose proportional spacing.
Condensed
Turns condensed printing on or off.
T.Margin
Sets the distance from the top of the page to the baseline of the first printable line. The distance is
measured in inches. The smaller the value, the closer the printable line is to the top.
Text
Sets the page length in lines. For this option, a line is assumed to be 1 pica (1/6 inch). If you change the
Orientation
,
Page Size
, or
T.Margin
settings, the page length setting automatically returns to the
default for each paper size.
CGTable
Use the character generator (CG) table option to select the graphics character table or the italics table.
The graphics table contains graphic characters for printing lines, corners, shaded areas, international
characters, Greek characters, and mathematical symbols. If you select
Italic
, the upper half of the
character table is defined as italic characters.
Country
Use this option to select one of the fifteen international symbol sets. See the
Font Guide
for samples of
the characters in each country’s symbol set.
Auto CR
Specifies whether the printer performs a carriage-return/line-feed (CR-LF) operation whenever the
printing position goes beyond the right margin. If you select
Off
, the printer does not print any
characters beyond the right margin and does not perform any line wrapping until it receives a
carriage-return character. This function is handled automatically by most applications.
