Problem

Solutions: The print head moved all of the way to the right side of the platen then returned to the left before the printer started printing. The customer was printing labels and using a Texas Instruments 880 printer. The return movement of the print head caused the labels to be crunched and the text to print in a stair stepping manner; each line of text started a little further to the right. The text appeared correct in View Document. The printer had been configured with setting 84 turned On. Changing the setting to Off corrected the printing problem.

The 880 printer uses menu settings. A customer can print a list of the current menu settings by opening the print head door and pressing Command, Menu, then pressing Accept. The configuration will print as follows:
                  CNFG: 14; 27; 36; 41; 81; 84; 9B
If an option is showing, it is turned On. The smallest setting in the list is the last thing to print after the configuration.

Take the following steps to change 84 from On to Off:
1.      Press Change. This will display =ON or =OFF. Users can move to the next highest option by pressing Accept.
2.      Continue through the list until 84 is reached. Number 84 determines how the printer will handle the line feed (LF) code when it is received. If 84 is On, the printer will add a carriage return (CR) to any line feed received. If it is Off, the line feed is sent through by itself.
3.      Change the setting to Off.
4.      Press Normal
