Undefined Char Sub
UNDEFINED CHARACTER SUBSTITUTION specifies the replacement character to
print in place of any unprintable character that is received from the host. The
character becomes the printer default when:
v
The printer is powered off and then powered on.
v
An SGEA command specifies to use the operator panel default.
v
The “UNDEFINED CHARACTER REPORTING” option is disabled.
The character code point can be set to the following values:
v X'60'
(the default)
v
X'40' – X'FE' (HEX)
Print Text Direction
Specifies the direction in which text is printed on the page. This allows the printer
to print languages which are printed right to left instead of left to right.
v
Left to Right (the default)
v
Right to Left . When a right to left language is selected, the host will be notified
of print direction changes when the printer is put online.
Override Host
Determines whether the printer executes certain commands sent by the host, or
continues to use the current printer settings. The following host commands are
ignored when OVERRIDE HOST is enabled: line length, forms length, lines per
inch (LPI), characters per inch (CPI), print quality, and text orientation (that is, left
to right). When OVERRIDE HOST is enabled, these settings retain their operator
panel settings.
Note: Host margin and tab settings will be used whether or not OVERRIDE HOST
is enabled.
v Disable (the default). Allows certain host commands (line length, forms length,
LPI, CPI, print quality, and text orientation) to override operator panel settings.
Note that the information appearing on the message display may not match the
data stream setting. No values will change upon initial selection of the disable
option.
v
Enable . Permits operator panel settings to override host data stream commands.
