2 agc position
agc (automatic gap control) is an integral part of the paper handling capabilities of the printer. it is an automatic adjustment function which ensures an optimal print quality when using various paper thicknesses. the gap adjustment will automatically take place whenever paper is inserted
1 after the paper source has been changed
2 from park position (fanfold)
3 after power on
4 after the printer has been in the stop mode
5 an agc command has been issued.
the reference point for the measurement of the paper thickness is the agc position of the first print line. default for the horizontal agc positionis 24 (= ink ribbon exchange position), any position from 4 to 131 (at 10 cpi) can be selected.
an adjustment of the agc position is only necessary if a measurement at the default position does not reflect the paper thickness of the area to beprinted on or if there is a paper edge (e.g. of a label) in that position (the measuring process requires a plain paper-surface). in addition to the automatic agc function, random measurements of the paper thickness can be invoked by the agc command, or a specific platengap can be set using the pcc command. this is to meet the requirements of forms with complex properties. for details see the programmers manual for the printer.
3 platen gap
this adjustment is to be seen as a correctional offset to the platen gap set by the agc (automatic gap control) function or a pcc (programmable copy control) command. it effects all paper paths.
4 agc adjust
this is a basic adjustment which is automatically performed at the initial power on of the printer, and which there after only needs to be initiated after having exchanged the print head or the platen. it is essential that the ink ribbon is installed and no paper is in the printer when this procedure is started. after activating this procedure, the printer displays the offset is within the range of -3 to +4. one step is equal to 18 μm. "-" reduces the gap, "+" increases it.
5 paper-in adj (paper-in-sensor adjustment)
this parameter logically adjusts the base position of the run-in-sensor. the factory set value is such that the default is set to compensate specific mechanical tolerances. the adjustment range is from -3 to +4 in / " steps 1 60 (0.42 mm), where "-" means an upward movement and "+" a downward movement. when implemented, the adjustment applies to all paper paths.
6 cutting v-pos
this parameter can be used to compensate mechanical tolerances which may cause a misalignment between the perforation edge of a continuous form and the tear-off position..
7 uni-direct.cmd
if no is selected, commands for uni-directional printing will be ignored. the default setting of yes means that commands will be carried out to switch from bi-directional to uni-directional or vice versa.
8 tract.ff-mode (tractor form feed mode)
blank pages means, every form feed sent to the printer will be executed.
if you set no blank pages, only a form feed before printable characters will be executed, that means blank pages will be ignored.
