Compatibility Option 2:
New Line at MPP+1
NEW LINE AT MPP+1 controls how many lines are skipped when the
carriage returns to a new line.
•
ON moves to the first print position of the next print line.
•
OFF (the default) moves to the first print position two lines down from the
current position.
Compatibility Option 3:
Position After Form Feed (4234 only)
POSITION AFTER FORM FEED allows you to select the location of the print
position after a form feed command is sent.
•
OFF sets the printer to print at position 2 of the first print line on the next
form.
•
ON (the default) sets the printer to print at print position 1 of the first print
line on the next form.
Compatibility Option 4:
Form Feed at End of Print Buffer
FORM FEED AT END OF PRINT BUFFER determines the print line position
when a form feed command is the last code encountered in the print buffer.
•
ON moves to the first print position on the second line of the next form.
•
OFF (the default) moves to the first print position on the first line of the
next form.
NOTE: This option is ignored if Compatibility Option 7 is on.
If configured as a 3287, and a form feed occurs in the middle of a print buffer,
the printer defaults to the first print position on the second line of the next
form, regardless of the setting of this option.
Compatibility Option 5:
Null Suppression
NULL SUPPRESSION will either treat nulls as blank spaces or ignore them. If
nulls are ignored, the print position does not move.
•
OFF (the default) ignores nulls.
•
ON treats nulls as blank spaces.
