3–80 Operator ManualComp Switch 5This switch determines the printer response to formatted print lines composedentirely of unprintable characters (such as Control and Format commands). IfOFF, and the Ignore bit in the PCIA is ON, the line is not printed and no NLfunction is performed. If ON, the printer prints a blank line in response to a lineof unprintable characters and performs an NL function.Comp Switch 6This switch determines the printer response to an FF command according towhere it is located in the data stream. If OFF, the printer performs an FF functiononly if the FF command is at the first print position or at the right margin plusone column. FF commands at any other location are treated as blanks. If ON,the printer recognizes FF commands any time they are part of a data stream.Comp Switch 7This switch determines printer response to an FF command and works in conjunc-tion with Comp Switch 4. If OFF, and the FF command is the last byte in a printorder, the printer responds according to how Comp Switch 4 is set. If the FFcommand is not the last byte in the print data and the current print position is notalready at Column 1, the printer performs an NL function at the end of the printjob. If ON, the printer performs an FF function after each print job if the printposition is not at the top of form.Comp Switch 8This switch determines the printer response to a FF command in conjunction withCompatability Switch 7. The default is OFF.OFF After all the data in a print job has been printed, a NL or a FF commandis performed according to the setting of Compatability Switch 7.ON The printer performs a FF function after an operator-initiated local copy(e.g., a Print Screen Command from the operator). This switch overridesCompatability Switch 7 when it is turned on.IR Delay (Coax Only)This parameter defines the delay from the time a fault is reported on the printercontrol panel until it is reported to the host. This is used primarily to allow youto change paper before the host cancels the print job. The default is 10 minutes.Hex PassthroughWhen you set this parameter to On, the printer translates certain EBCDIC charac-ter streams into ASCII escape sequence commands, and executes the commands.Details can be found in the Twinax / Coax Applications Manual. Default is off.IPDS: This option is not available.Config Menu⇒ Twinax/Coax
