							252Using the Control Panel Selects the pitch (the horizontal spacing) of the font in fixed pitch, 
measured in cpi (characters per inch). You can also choose 
proportional spacing.
Condensed
Turns condensed printing on or off.
T. Margin
Sets the distance from the top of the page to the baseline of the 
first printable line. The distance is measured in inches. The 
smaller the value, the closer the printable line is to the top.
Text
Sets the page length in lines. For this option, a line is assumed to 
be 1 pica (1/6 inch). If you change the Orientation, Page Size, or 
T. Margin settings, the page length setting automatically returns 
to the default for each paper size.
CG Table
Use the character generator (CG) table option to select the 
graphics character table or the italics table. The graphics table 
contains graphic characters for printing lines, corners, shaded 
areas, international characters, Greek characters, and 
mathematical symbols. If you select Italic, the upper half of the 
character table is defined as italic characters.
Country
Use this option to select one of the fifteen international symbol 
sets. See  International character sets on page 455 for samples of 
the characters in each country’s symbol set.

Specifies whether the printer performs a 
carriage-return/line-feed (CR-LF) operation whenever the 
printing position goes beyond the right margin. If you select Off, 
the printer does not print any characters beyond the right margin 
and does not perform any line wrapping until it receives a 
carriage-return character. This function is handled automatically 
by most applications.
Auto LF
If you select Off, the printer does not send an automatic line-feed 
(LF) command with each carriage-return (CR). If On is selected, a 
line-feed command is sent with each carriage-return. Select On if 
your text lines overlap.
Bit Image
The printer is able to emulate the graphics densities set with the 
printer commands. If you select Dark, the bit image density is 
high, and if you select Light, the bit image density is low.
If you select BarCode, the printer converts bit images to bar codes 
by automatically filling in any vertical gaps between dots. This 
produces unbroken vertical lines that can be read by a bar code 
reader. This mode will reduce the size of the image being printed, 
and may also cause some distortion when printing bit image 
graphics.
ZeroChar
Specifies whether the printer prints a slashed or unslashed zero.
FX Menu
This menu allows you to make settings which affect the printer 
when it is in the FX emulation mode.
