For more details, see the next section, “Using the default settings.” To
change a setting, see “Changing the default settings” on page A-7.
Note:
Most software controls the character table and auto line feed. If your software
controls these features, you may never need to set them with the control panel.
Using the default settings
Print direction
Your printer has three direction settings: Auto, Bi-D, and Uni-D.
Note:
Most software controls this setting. If your software does, you may never need to
set it with the control panel.
Auto causes the printer to switch automatically between bidirectional (for
text data) and unidirectional (for graphics data).
Bi-D causes the print heads to print in both directions. This provides the
fastest printing. If vertical or horizontal lines are not aligned, align the
print heads as described on page A-11.
Uni-D causes the print heads to print in one direction only. This provides
maximum alignment for both graphics and character printing.
Font
Use this setting to select the default font.
Pitch
With this setting, you can specify the default character pitch (font size).
I/F mode
Your EPSON printer has both a parallel and serial interface, allowing you
to share the printer between two computers.
