D. Lines Per Inch (xxx) - By entering the letter D, followed by any decimal number from 001 to 063, the
operator can change the lines per inch (LPI) the printer will print. If a decimal value larger than
063 is entered, the LPI option will be set to a value less than 063. The host Set Line Density (SLD)
command can temporarily change the lines per inch used by the printer. This new LPI value will not
be displayed in the Lines Per Inch option. See Section 8, Batch operation for more information.
E. Single/Double Space - Option can be toggled from Single (NL x`15’ received from host send CR LF
to printer) to Double (NL x `15’ received from host send CR LF LF to the printer) line spacing.
F. MONO/Dual Case - By entering an F the operator can toggle from Dual (upper and lower case
characters sent to the printer) to MONO (only upper case characters are sent to the printer, if a lower
case character is received from the host it is converted to upper case).
