I tend to use <->, but I'm afraid I don't know what a print mode is.

A print mode allows to change the way how the system prints things; there are command line options -m MODE or Isabelle settings to various isabelle tools for that.

Sometimes print modes have a genuine purpose, e.g. for different "protocols" of the prover: Proof General, Isabelle Process, latex, HTML etc.

Sometimes print modes are just there to allow everyone's favourite syntax to coexist in the system. (The latter is an aspect of very old Isabelle insider jokes that nobody remembers now.)
