Printer Emulation Configuration Menu
Define LF Code
•
LF = CR + LF . (the default.) Forces an automatic carriage return with
each line feed command. The next print position is print position 1 of the
next line.
•
LF = LF . Does not perform an automatic carriage return. The next print
position will be the current print position of the next line.
Select SFCC
This parameter allows you to select which ASCII codes will function as the
Special Function Control Code (SFCC) command delimiter.
P-Series codes can use hex 00 through hex 7F. Options include the following:
•
ESC (hex 1B)
•
SOH (hex 01) (the default.)
•
ETX (hex 03)
•
CIRCUMFLEX (hex 5E)—also called caret (^)
•
TILDE (hex 7E)—(~)
NOTE: SOH, ETX, and ESC are non-printables. The characters (^) and (~)
are printable; however, do not use them as printables in the host data
stream if either is chosen as a delimiter because print errors will
occur.
EVFU Select
The EVFU SELECT (Electronic Vertical Format Unit Select) option
determines if EVFU skips can be defined. An EVFU skip is an instruction to
move the paper to a specific location on a form. See the
6400 ASCII
Programmer’s Reference Manual for more information.
•
Enable . (the default.) Defines EVFU skips.
•
Disable . Does not define EVFU skips.
Alternate Set 80-9F
•
Printable . (the default.) Prints data in the range of hex 80 through hex 9F.
•
Control Code . Interprets data in the range of hex 80 through hex 9F as a
control code.
