Compatibility Option 6:
Form Feed Command Position
FORM FEED COMMAND POSITION determines if the position of a form feed
command affects its execution.
•
OFF (the default) normally performs a form feed only if it occurs at the first
print position in a line or at Maximum Print Po1. (The Maximum
Print Position is the line length.) A form feed command at any other
position is recognized as a blank.
•
ON allows the printer to perform a form feed command anywhere in the
data stream.
Compatibility Option 7:
Automatic Form Feed at End of Print Buffer
AUTOMATIC FORM FEED AT END OF PRINT BUFFER specifies whether or
not to perform an automatic form feed at the end of a print buffer.
•
OFF (the default) performs an automatic new line command after
completing a print buffer (unless a form feed, new line, or carriage return
command was the last one executed). The printer is set to print at print
position 1 of the next line.
•
ON performs an automatic form feed after completing a print buffer
(unless a form feed command was the last one in the buffer). The printer
is set to print at print position 1 of the first line of the next form.
Compatibility Option 8:
Automatic FF After Operator–Initiated Copy
This option determines the print position after an operator–initiated local copy
(print screen function).
•
OFF (the default) performs an automatic new line command after
completing a print buffer (unless a new line, form feed or carriage return
command was the last one executed). The printer is set to print at print
position 1 of the next line.
•
ON performs an automatic form feed command unless a form feed was
the last one executed. The printer is set to print at print position 1 of the
first line on the next form.
Compatibility Option 9:
CR, EM, and NL (3287 only)
CR (Carriage Return), EM (Error Message), and NL (New Line) specify that
the printer treat the CR, EM, and NL control codes either as spaces or as
control codes.
•
ON (the default) treats the CR, EM and NL commands as control codes.
•
OFF treats the CR, EM and NL commands as spaces.
