OKI ml395 [43/79] Explanation of menu items

Explanation of Menu Items

These explanations are in alphabetical sequence to make it easier to look them up. Some of the items

apply only to a specific emulation, model, or if you are using the Serial Interface, as noted.

Auto LF.

Change to Yes if your printer prints one line over another. Keep this set to No if your software adds a line

feed when a carriage return is received at the end of a line or if your printout is consistently double

spaced.Auto CR (IBM mode only). Choose Yes to make your printer automatically perform a carriage

return when an LF is received at the end of the line.

Auto Feed XT

(Epson mode only). In the Epson emulation, the XT signal on pin 14 of the parallel interface can control

auto-matic line feed. Some interface cables are wired in such a way that automatic line feed is always in

effect; the Auto Feed XT item eliminates this potential problem. The factory setting allows your system to

use pin 14 to control automatic line feed; to cause the printer to ignore this signal, change the setting to

Invalid.

Baud Rate (Serial Interface only).

Choose a transmission rate of 19,200 bps, 9600 bps (factory default), 4800 bps, 2400 bps, 1200 bps, 600

bps, or 300 bps.
