•
Data Bit 8
•
Enable . (the default.) The PI line is not passed directly from host to
printer; all 8 bits are used for data bits, and characters in the 80-FF
hex range can be accessed.
•
Disable . When the host PI line is enabled, indicates PI line status. To
use the PI line, disable data bit 8, and enable the Host PI
configuration option.
NOTE: Data bit 8 is interpreted as either data bit 8 or PI signal, but never
both. When enabled as data bit 8, data bit 8 has priority over the PI
signal, and all data above 7F hex is used to access character data
and not to interpret PI line data.
Conversely, when data bit 8 is disabled and the PI signal is used,
data bit 8 of the data is reserved for use as the PI function, and you
cannot access characters in the 80-FF hex range. Therefore, to
access characters in the 80-FF hex range, data bit 8
must be
enabled.
