Using the Control Panel73
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 Panel74
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.
