2 quick settings (only active if not locked in the menu function menu access with quick set off (see chapter 3)).
macro selection means a change of all configuration parameters of the macro concerned.
- lower row keys
in case a certain application requires a specific vertical positioning of the printout on a continuous form, two possibilities are provided for the ready or busy mode:
this can be set differently for each macro to exactly position the printout in relation to the top edge of the form in use. using this function, the top margin and bottom margin settings are taken into account as well.
the parameter is part of the printer′s configuration set up memory and can be stored with the save function.
the vert. pos.adj. mode can directly be called up in the status ready
a continuous form can manually be displaced by this function when it is either correctly loaded at the park position or already fed and partly printed. the fanfold displacement mode can only be called up in the status ready or busy.
this parameter influences the line counter of the current print job and cannot be saved. a form feed (ff) sent by the application to the printer cancels all these settings.
how to use this function
preprinted paper (e.g. bill of lading) has to be adjusted exactly. following errors are possible:bit higher.
1 the printed value is too low - the fanfold paper has to be moved a little bit lower. no backward movement is possible for a form in park position or with the print head on the first line. the displacement will become function is used during a current print job (not at the beginning of the page).
1 the printed value is too high - the fanfold paper has to be moved a little effective on the next page. a negative displacement is possible if this
the status of the internal print buffer, the offset will be immediately the offset to the current position is shown on the display. dependent on executed after having resumed the printing or after having printed the remaining data in the internal print buffer. the offset value is not stored in the configuration set up and influences only the actual line counter. the maximum displacement range is the distance between the actual position and the page border plus one full page, but no more than 999 steps (nearly 1 inch). a backward movement is possible from the actual position to the top of that page.
there are two possibilities for the displacement to become active:
1 if a positive displacement is set before starting the print job the printer will move the paper into the right position first and then start printing.
2 if the displacement is set during a print job, the printer prints the contents of the print buffer. afterwards, the displacement will become active. all following data are at the new position.
