EMULATION Menu
Compatibility Op
The Compatibility Options allow you to select special printer functions in the
non-SCS mode based on the capabilities of the printer emulated.
CR At MPP+1
MPP is Maximum Print Position, which is also known as line length. This
option controls a carriage return at the end of a print line and at MPP+1.
•
On (factory default). Produces a carriage return to the first print position of
the next line.
•
Off . Produces a carriage return to the first print position of the current line.
NL At MPP+1
Controls how many lines are skipped when the carriage returns to a new line.
•
On (factory default). Moves to the first print position two lines down from
the current position.
•
Off . Moves to the first print position of the next print line.
Position Aft FF (4234 only)
Allows you to select the location of the print position after a form feed
command is sent.
•
On . Sets the printer to print at print position 1 of the first print line on the
next form.
•
Off (factory default). Sets the printer to print at print position 2 of the first
print line on the next form.
Last Char = FF
Determines the print line position when a form feed command is the last code
encountered in the print buffer.
•
On (factory default). Moves to the first print position on the second line of
the next form.
•
Off . Moves to the first print position on the first line of the next form.
NOTE: This option is ignored if Auto Skip At End is on.
If configured as a 3287, and a form feed occurs in the middle of a print buffer,
the printer defaults to the first print position on the second line of the next form
regardless of the setting of this option.
Null Suppression
•
Off (factory default). Ignores nulls. The print position does not move.
•
On . Treats nulls as blank spaces.
