REMEMBER!
To leave the Programming
Mode at any time, press
the
Esc
key. Doing so will
return the CP-220A to its
normal operating mode.
Programming changes will
be stored automatically.
Programming Procedures:
After entering
PARAMETER 01,
[PRINTER ON] will be displayed and the
[ON] after [SLOT] will be flashing.
Press the
NEXT
key or the
MANUAL/PREVIOUS
key to toggle between
[PRINTER ON], [PRINTER ON COMP FAIL], and [PRINTER OFF].
Default:
The CP-220A is defaulted to [PRINTER ON].
Advancing to Next Parameter:
The next parameter in
Category B
is
PARAMETER 35.
Because it is not
sequential, it cannot be reached with a single press of the
key. To advance
to
PARAMETER 35
, press the
N
key.
The CP-220A displays the parameter, indicating its request for the next
parameter number.
You can reach
PARAMETER 35
by pressing the
3
and the
5
keys.
PARAMETER 35:
Printer Line

PRINTER LINE FEED ON MM/DD/YY HH:MM:SS
Background:
Although all dot matrix printers recommended for the CP-220A (see page 2-
64) generate their own
carriage return
(CR) at the end of a line, they can be
programmed – typically by their DIP switches or front panel controls – to
produce their own internal
line feed
(LF) (i.e., advancement of the paper up
one line) after each line of print is received. Since virtually all computer
software programs send their own
line feed
commands during printing, it's
generally not necessary for the printer itself to do so. Therefore, most
printers are factory programmed to
avoid
generating their own
line feed,
using either the term
AUTO LINEFEED
or CR+LF.
