Parameters
Printer parameters are settings such as line spacing (lpi), characters per
inch (cpi), typeface, etc. You can change a parameter by pressing keys on
the control panel or by sending a control code from the host computer.
A parameter such as 8 lpi is effective as long as the printer is on. To save
the 8 lpi parameter, you must use the control panel and save it as part of a
configuration.
To learn more about the configuration menus and how to change individual
parameters such as line spacing, typeface, etc., refer to the
User’s Guide
or the technical reference manual for each emulation.
Control Codes
Control codes override parameters that were set with the control panel. For
example, if you set line spacing to 6 lpi with the operator panel, and
application software later changed this to 8 lpi with a control code, then 8
lpi would be the new, active parameter.
