Height
Specifies the default font height if the font is scalable and proportional. You can select from 4.00 to 
999.75 points, in 0.25-point increments. This item may not appear depending on the Font Source 
or Font Number settings.
SymSet
Selects the default symbol set. If the font you selected in Font Source and Font Number is not 
available in the new SymSet setting, the Font Source and the Font Number settings are 
automatically replaced with the default value, IBM-US.
Form
Selects the number of lines for the selected paper size and orientation. This also causes a line 
spacing (VMI) change, and the new VMI value is stored in the printer. This means that later 
changes in the Page Size or Orientation settings cause changes in the Form value, based on the 
stored VMI.
CR Function, LF Function
These functions are included for users of particular operating systems, such as UNIX.
Tray Assign
Changes the assignment for the paper source select command. When 4 is selected, the commands 
are set as compatible with the HP LaserJet 4. When 4K is selected, the commands are set as 
compatible with the HP LaserJet 4000, 5000, and 8000. When 5S is selected, the commands are set 
as compatible with the HP LaserJet 5S.

❏You do not have to select On when using AppleTalk.
To use the Binary data, make sure your application supports Binary data and that SEND CTRL-D 
Before Each Job and SEND CTRL-D After Each Job are set to No.

Font
Selects the font.
Pitch
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 the Font Guide for samples 
of the characters in each country’s symbol set.
Auto CR
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.

Using the Control Panel166
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.
