120 Control Panel
Skip over perforation
This feature is available only when continuous paper is selected.
When you turn on this feature, the printer provides a one-inch
(25.4 mm) margin between the last line printed on one page and
the first line printed on the next page. Because most application
program margin settings override margin settings from the
control panel, you should use this setting only if you cannot set
your top and bottom margins using your application.
Auto tear off
When auto tear off is on and you are using continuous paper with
the front or rear push tractor, the printer automatically advances
the paper perforation to the tear-off position, where you can easily
tear off the printed page(s). When the printer receives data again,
it automatically moves the paper back to the top-of-form position
and starts printing, so you can use all of the next page.
When auto tear off is off and you are using continuous paper with
the front or rear push tractor, you need to move the perforation
to the tear-off position manually by pressing the
Tear Off/Bin
button. See “Using the Tear-off Function” on page 45 for more
information.
Auto line feed
When auto line feed is on, the printer accompanies each carriage
return (CR) code received with a line feed (LF) code.
Print direction
You can select auto print direction ( Auto ), bidirectional printing
( Bi-D ), or unidirectional printing ( Uni-D ). Printing is normally
bidirectional; however, unidirectional printing allows for precise
vertical printing alignment.
When set to Auto , the printer analyzes the data and uses
unidirectional printing for any lines which require vertical
printing alignment.
