•
DISABLE 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.
•
ENABLE permits operator panel settings to override host data stream
commands.
Format Control
FORMAT CONTROL enables the printer to reflect the same spacing as CTPC
model printers after absolute and relative move commands are executed. The
following options are available:
•
DISABLE reflects distance, generated by the IGP/VGL feature, IGP/PGL
feature, and Hex Transparent control code sequence, in the new
position (after horizontal and vertical tabs are executed).
•
ENABLE does not reflect distance, generated by the IGP/VGL feature,
IGP/PGL feature, and Hex Transparent control code sequence, in the
new position (after horizontal and vertical tabs are executed).
Buffer Print
When enabled, the BUFFER PRINT parameter prints the EBCDIC data and
control codes received from the host as hex values. Refer to Chapter 6 for
information on how to obtain a hex code printout.
NOTE: Use of this parameter may alter print attributes set by the host
computer. A power cycle may be required after changing BUFFER
PRINT from enable to disable.
