About Your Printer’s Default Settings
The default settings control many printer functions. While you can often set these functions through your software or printer driver, you may sometimes need to change a default setting from the printer’s control panel using the default setting mode.
For a detailed description of the settings you can change in the default setting mode, see Understanding default settings. For instructions on changing the settings, see Changing default settings.
Understanding default settings
This section describes the settings and options available in the default setting mode.
PLQ-20/PLQ-20M
In the default setting mode, you can select items you want to set from the main menu.
From the Common Settings menu, you can change the settings for the common items, which are effective in all the emulation modes.
From the Software Settings menu, you can then select the emulation mode to change the settings for each item of the emulation menu selected from the PR2 Mode Settings or WNI4915 Mode Settings menu (depending on the factory default), and the Other Emulation Settings menu.
From the PR2 Mode Settings menu, you can change the settings that are active in the PR2 mode. *
From the WNI4915 Mode Setting menu, you can change the settings that are active in the WNI4915 mode. *
From the Other Emulation Settings menu, you can change the settings that are active in the ESC/P and IBM PPDS modes.
These settings are shown in the following tables and explained in detail after each table.
* Either the PR2 mode or WNI4915 mode is implemented depending on the factory default. See the description of the mode you use hereafter.
To access and change a setting, see Changing default settings.

High speed draft
In PR2 mode, this option is available in any pitch. In other modes, this option is available when the pitch is 10 or 12 cpi (characters per inch). When you choose On, the printer prints up to 480 cps (characters per second) at 10 cpi. When you choose Off, the printer prints up to 360 cps at 10 cpi.
I/F mode
The printer provides built-in slots for three kinds of interfaces; Parallel, Serial, and USB. You can choose Auto (automatic), Parallel, Serial, or USB, for the interface mode. When you select Auto, the printer automatically selects the interface that is receiving data, and uses that interface until the end of the print job. The Auto setting allows you to share the printer among multiple computers without changing the interface mode. When the printer turns on in Auto I/F mode and PR2 mode, this mode is set to Serial.
If only one computer is connected to the printer, you can select Parallel, Serial, or USB depending on which interface your computer uses.
Auto I/F wait time (Seconds)
When the printer is in the auto interface mode and it receives no data from the currently selected interface for the amount of time specified with this setting, it determines which interface is receiving data and switches to that interface. You can specify either 10 or 30 for the auto interface wait time. When the printer turns on in the PR2 mode, this mode is not activated.
Parallel I/F bidirectional mode
The Parallel Interface bidirectional transfer mode is used when this feature is set to On. If bidirectional transfer mode is unnecessary, select Off.
Packet mode
Make sure to select Auto when you print from Windows applications using the printer driver. Set this feature to Off if you have connection troubles while printing from applications based on other operating systems such as DOS. When the printer turns on in the PR2 mode, this mode is set to Off.
Baud rate (bps)
Use this option to set the data transfer rate (baud) for the serial interface. The baud rate is measured in bits per second (bps).
Data length (bit)
Set the data length of the serial interface to 7 or 8.
Parity
When this option is set to None, parity checking is disabled. The parity bit, if used, provides a basic form of error detection.
Passbook
When you use single sheet or passbook, set this option to On. When you use multipart forms, set this option to Off.
Binding
You need to set the method for binding when you use a passbook. Select Horizontal for a horizontal-fold passbook or Vertical for a vertical-fold passbook.
Thin paper
When you use thin paper, set this option to On. This mode is activated when you select On and the Passbook mode is set to Off.
Buzzer
If you set this feature to On, the printer beeps when an error occurs. See Using the Error Indicators for more information on printer errors. If you do not want the printer to beep, select Off.
Paper width measurement
You can set the timing when the printer measures the width of the paper. When you select After loading, the printer measures the width just after it loads the paper. When you select Before printing, it makes the measurement just before printing the first line.
Right paper edge detection
This setting allows you to determine whether the printer prints excess data when the data is longer than the paper width. When you select On, the excess data is not printed. When you select Off, the printer prints the excess data on the next line.
Low-noise mode
When this mode is set to On, the noise is reduced, but the printing speed is slower.
Broken pin compensation
When this feature is On, printing is done at normal quality if one of the 24 pins is broken. You need to set the broken pin number at the Broken pin number setting.
Broken pin number
Select the pin number of the broken pin. The broken pin number is shown on the sheet of current default settings that can be printed in the default setting mode. The gap on the sloping line above the pin numbers shows the broken pin number.
Roll Paper
When you use roll paper with the optional roll paper holder, set this option to On. This mode is activated when you select On and the Passbook mode is set to Off.
When this option is set to Off and paper is left in the printer, the printer ejects the paper when the printer is turned on or the cover is opened. When this option is set to On, the printer does not eject the paper.
Rear Paper Guide
When you use the optional rear paper guide, set this option to On.
When you select On and the Roll Paper mode is also set to On, the Roll Paper mode is not available.
Magnetic standard
You can select the magnetic standard in this setting.
This feature is available only for PLQ-20M.

Software
This setting allows you to select the software format. When you select ESC/P2, the printer operates in the EPSON ESC/P2 mode. When you select IBM PPDS, the printer emulates an BM printer.
Interface Mode
The printer provides built-in slots for three kinds of interfaces; Serial1, Serial2, and USB. You can choose Auto (automatic), Serial1, Serial2, or USB, for the interface mode. When you select Auto, the printer automatically selects the interface that is receiving data, and uses that interface until the end of the print job. The Auto setting allows you to share the printer among multiple computers without changing the interface mode. When the printer turns on in Auto I/F mode and PR2 mode, this mode is set to Serial.
If only one computer is connected to the printer, you can select Serial1, Serial2, or USB depending on which interface your computer uses.
Auto I/F wait time (Seconds)
When the printer is in the auto interface mode and it receives no data from the currently selected interface for the amount of time specified with this setting, it determines which interface is receiving data and switches to that interface.
