OCR Font Density
OCR FONT DENSITY determines the print quality for OCR A and OCR B
character sets. The following options are available:
•
120 Dots Per Inch (the default). Vertical is 144; horizontal is 120.
•
180 Dots Per Inch Vertical is 144; horizontal is 180.
NOTE: The higher the resolution selected, the slower the print speed. When
selecting a resolution, try to balance the resolution quality your
application requires with how fast you want the print job to print.
Eject/Restore
The EJECT/RESTORE parameter controls how the printer behaves when the
user presses the Eject/Restore key. The following options are available:
•
Standard (the default)
•
Top Exit Tear (pedestal models only)
When STANDARD mode is selected, the Eject/Restore key operates as
follows:
•
Pressing Eject/Restore causes the paper to advance a preset distance of
22 inches.
•
Pressing Ready or pressing Eject/Restore a second time causes the
paper to return to its original position.
NOTE: If you are using this function to tear off forms, you might want to press
Form Feed before using the Eject/Restore function. This will avoid
unloading the paper as it is restored to its original position.
When TOP EXIT TEAR mode is selected, the Eject/Restore key operates as
follows:
•
Pressing Eject/Restore causes the paper to advance the bottom of the
last printed form to the tear position, ready for the operator to tear off the
printed forms.
•
Pressing Eject/Restore a second time causes the paper to move into
position such that the top of the first possible form available for printing is
positioned ready for printing. (The direction and amount of paper
movement will depend on the length of the forms; one or more blank
forms will be skipped.)
NOTE: The TOP EXIT TEAR setting is meaningful only on pedestal model
printers. TOP EXIT TEAR cannot be selected on cabinet model
printers.
Forms length must be set correctly for the TOP EXIT TEAR mode to
function properly.
