About Your Printer’s Default Settings

The default settings control many printer functions. While you can often set these functions through your software or printer driver, you may sometimes need to change a default setting from the printer’s control panel using the Default Setting mode.
For a detailed description of the settings you can change in the default-setting mode, see Understanding default settings. For instructions on changing the settings, see Changing default settings.

Understanding default settings

This section describes the settings and options available in the default-setting mode.
In the default setting mode, you can select items you want to set from the main menu.
From the Common settings menu, you can change the settings for the common items, which are effective in all the emulation modes.
From the Target Printer Mode settings menu, you can then select the target printer and change the settings for each item from Olivetti Mode, Wincor Nixdorf Mode, or EPSON Mode.
From the Olivetti Mode menu, you can select the PR2, IBM PPDS, or ESC/P2+ESC/MC emulation modes.
From the Wincor Nixdorf Mode menu, you can select the WNI4915, IBM PPDS, or ESC/P2+ESC/MC emulation modes.
From the EPSON Mode menu, you can select the ESC/P2, IBM PPDS, or ESC/P2+ESC/MC emulation modes.
These settings are shown in the following tables and explained in detail after each table.
To access and change a setting, see Changing default settings.

High speed draft

In PR2 mode, this option is available in any pitch. In other modes, this option is available when the pitch is 10 or 12 cpi (characters per inch). When you choose On, the printer prints up to 480 cps (characters per second) at 10 cpi. When you choose Off, the printer prints up to 360 cps at 10 cpi.

Auto I/F wait time (Seconds)

When the printer is in the auto interface mode and it receives no data from the currently selected interface for the amount of time specified with this setting, it determines which interface is receiving data and switches to that interface. You can specify either 10 or 30 for the auto interface wait time. When the printer turns on in the PR2 mode, this mode is not activated.

Parallel I/F bidirectional mode

The Parallel Interface bidirectional transfer mode is used when this feature is set to On. If bidirectional transfer mode is unnecessary, select Off.

Packet mode

Make sure to select Auto when you print from Windows applications using the printer driver that was downloaded from the Web site. Set this feature to Off if you have connection troubles while printing from applications based on other operating systems such as DOS. When the printer turns on in the PR2 mode, this mode is set to Off.

Baud rate (bps)

Use this option to set the data transfer rate (baud) for the serial interface. The baud rate is measured in bits per second (bps).

Data length (bit)

Set the data length of the serial interface to 7 or 8.

Parity

When this option is set to None, parity checking is disabled. The parity bit, if used, provides a basic form of error detection.

Passbook

When you use single sheet or passbook, set this option to On. When you use multipart forms, set this option to Off.

Binding

You need to set the method for binding when you use a passbook. Select Horizontal for a horizontal-fold passbook or Vertical for a vertical-fold passbook.

Thin paper

When you use thin paper, set this option to On. This mode is activated when you select On and the Passbook mode is set to Off.
