DIP Switch Settings

The DIP switch settings control various printer functions, such as the page length and character set you want to use. The printer functions defined by the DIP switches are determined by the printer control mode. The printer has two control modes:

§BJ-10 mode, which emulates the IBM Proprinter X24E

§Epson LQ mode, which emulates the Epson LQ printers

DIP switch 11 selects the printer control mode. When DIP switch 11 is OFF, the printer is in BJ mode (this is the default). When DIP switch 11 is ON, the printer is in Epson LQ mode.

BJ-10 Mode
