quick reference in the Group 2 default-setting mode.
Most application programs control the printer features listed

here. If you can use your application program to control the
printer, you may never need to use the default-setting mode.
In fact, you may find that your program settings override
your printer default settings. See your software
documentation for more information.

Default setting descriptions

Printer mode
When you select ESC/P, the printer operates in the Epson ESC/P
mode. When you select IBM, the printer emulates an IBM printer.
Character pitch
You can set the character pitch to 10 cpi or 12 cpi.
Skip-over-perforation
When you turn on this feature, the printer provides a l-inch margin
between the last line printed on one page and the first line printed
on the next page. Because most application programs set their own
top and bottom margins, you should use this feature only if your
program does not provide them.
Shape of Zero
The zero character has a slash (0) when the setting is on, or no slash
(0) when the setting is off. This allows you to easily distinguish
between an uppercase "0" character and a zero.
