On units equipped with the Transparency option, a
jumper change on the parity error detection board
allows the parity checking to be operative or
inhibited when the Printer
is in the Transparent
mode.
NOTE
In the case where the motor is turned off, it is
possible to lose the last few characters
because there is no time delay to allow for
clearing out the memory.
If a non-printable character (space, delete, or
control code) is detected to have a parity
error, the diamond will not be printed and the
printer will not advance to the next print
position.
RED/BLACK RIBBON OPTION
This option allows two-color printing. When an ESC 3
code is recognized, the ribbon will lift to the red
inked portion of the ribbon. Recognition of an ESC 4
will lower the ribbon to the normal black inked
portion of the ribbon. Unlike the standard ribbon
configuration, the ribbon does not lower to a position
below the print line. Red/Bhick Ribbon option is not
available on Split Platen Printers.

TRANSPARENCY switch on the Printer's control
panel. It is used in conjunction with the optional

recording of other than ASCII coded data. When the
switch is in the ON position, the Printer can transmit
or
receive data for the tape devices,
but is
"transparent" to all codes so there is no printing or
control code action. Remote control of the punch or
· reader is not possible but a received

Break" will stop
a transmitting reader.
