The Parallel Interface bidirectional transfer mode is used when this feature is on. You can specify either 10 seconds or 30 seconds for the auto interface wait time. 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. If only one computer is connected to the printer, you can select Parallel, USB or Option, depending on which interface your computer uses. The Auto setting allows you to share the printer among multiple computers without changing the interface mode. When you select Auto, the printer automatically selects the interface that is receiving data, and uses that interface until the end of the print job. You can choose Auto (automatic), Parallel, USB or Option for the interface mode. The printer provides a slot for an optional interface in addition to its built-in parallel interface and USB interface. The slash allows you to easily distinguish between the uppercase letter "O" and a zero. The zero character has a slash ( ) when this feature is on it has no slash (0) when this feature is off. When you select IBM PPDS, the printer emulates an IBM printer. When you select ESC/P, the printer operates in the EPSON ESC/P mode. Printing is normally bidirectional however, unidirectional printing allows for precise vertical printing alignment. You can select auto print direction, bidirectional printing ( Bi-D), or unidirectional printing ( Uni-D).
IBM 7980I MAC PRINT SETTINGS CODE
When auto line feed is on, the printer accompanies each carriage return (CR) code received with a line feed (LF) code. See Using the Tear-off Function for more information. When auto tear off is off and you are using continuous paper with the front or rear push tractor, you need to move the perforation to the tear-off position manually by pressing the Tear Off/Bin button. When the printer receives data again, it automatically moves the paper back to the top-of-form position and starts printing, so you can use all of the next page. When auto tear off is on and you are using continuous paper with the front or rear push tractor, the printer automatically advances the paper perforation to the tear-off position, where you can easily tear off the printed page(s). Because most application program margin settings override margin settings from the control panel, you should use this setting only if you cannot set your top and bottom margins using your application. When you turn on this feature, the printer provides a one-inch (25.4 mm) margin between the last line printed on one page and the first line printed on the next page. This feature is available only when continuous paper is selected. This setting allows you to set the page length (in inches) for the continuous paper loaded on the rear push tractor. This setting allows you to set the page length (in inches) for the continuous paper loaded on the front push tractor. *** This setting is available only in IBM PPDS emulation mode. ** The options available for this setting vary depending on the country. * After this is printed, press the Set (Tear Off/Bin) button to print all current settings.

IBM 7980I MAC PRINT SETTINGS SOFTWARE
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.įor a detailed description of the settings you can change in the default-setting mode, see Understanding default settings.
The default settings control many printer functions.
