User manual EPSON FX-880 - PRODUCT SUPPORT BULLETIN

Read This First If You Want to Use Your EPSON FX-880+ in Okidata Mode If you have the EPSON FX-880+, you can make it work like the ® ® Okidata Microline 320 Turbo by turning the printer on in a different mode. In Okidata mode, the printer emulates Okidata functions, and the following additional settings can be selected in default setting mode: Feature Software emulation Auto tear off wait time Bottom margin Line spacing (lines per inch) Paper out override ® Printer settings in Okidata mode IBM PPDS, EPSON ESC/P , OKI ML 320T 0.5 second, 1 second, 2 seconds, Others 4.2 mm, 20 mm, 22 mm, 24 mm, Others 6 LPI, 8 LPI Off (No), On (Yes) ® ® The default settings (shown in bold) are consistent with Okidata Microline 320 Turbo factory settings. Note: Because the ML 320T does not have a built-in USB interface, the FX-880+ does not support the USB interface in Okidata mode. If you want to use your printer in Okidata mode, do not install the ® Windows driver that came with your FX-880+. If you have been using an Okidata driver, you can continue to use it with your FX-880+ in Okidata mode. If you have been using an Okidata printer, you may want to print out its default settings for reference before changing modes on the FX-880+. To do this on the ML 320T, press SHIFT + SEL to enter Menu mode, and then press PRINT. 1 Changing Modes To enter Okidata mode, make sure the printer is turned off. Then hold down the Tear Off/Bin and Pause buttons while you turn on the printer. The printer beeps once to indicate it is now in Okidata mode. The printer remains in Okidata mode until you repeat the above procedure. To return to FX-880+ mode, hold down the Tear Off/Bin and Pause buttons while you turn on the printer. The printer beeps twice and is now operating in FX-880+ mode. Note: When you switch from one mode to the other, any changes you made to the printer's settings in the original mode are restored to their default values. You can print the default settings for the printer when it is in Okidata mode to check the current settings and change them if necessary.
