Epson FX-880 - Impact Printer, User Manual

Page: 126 / 211

Software
When you select ESC/P, the printer operates in the EPSON
ESC/P mode. When you select IBM, the printer emulates an
IBM printer.
0 slash
The zero character has a slash (0) when this feature is on; it has
no slash (0) when this feature is off. The slash allows you to
easily distinguish between the uppercase letter “O” and a zero.
High speed draft
You can choose two different font sizes in High speed draft
mode: 10 cpi (characters per inch), which prints up to 410 cps
(characters per second); or 12 cpi, which prints up to 455 cps.
Selecting
Off causes the printer to print at normal speed.
Input buffer
The input buffer stores data sent from your computer. The
input buffer can store up to 32KB of data, so you can free your
computer for other tasks while the printer prints. When the
buffer is off, the buffer cannot store data, so the computer must
wait for the printer to print each character before sending the
next character.
Buzzer (beeper)
The printer beeps when an error occurs. See page 8-2 for more
information on printer errors. If you do not want the printer to
beep when an error occurs, turn off this setting.
Auto CR (carriage return)
This setting is available only in IBM 2380 Plus emulation mode.
When auto carriage return is on, each line feed (LF) code or
ESC J code is accompanied by a carriage return (CR) code so
the printer moves the next printing position to the left margin.
When this setting is off, you must send a CR code after the line
feed code to move the printing position to the left margin.
