· For text printing, these are the A721 internal dip switch settings:
3.2	3.3	3.4	Right Margin Text	Text Columns
OFF	OFF	OFF	.5”	33/40
OFF	OFF	ON	.3”	33/40
OFF	ON	OFF	.5”	35/42
OFF	ON	ON	.3”	35/42
ON	OFF	--	.1”	35/42
ON	ON	--	.1”	42/51

·A721 internal dip switch 3.5 applies to the right margin in Page Mode printing. That is handled with another B780 configuration command.

·The right margin and text columns options cannot be changed separately because some combinations are not reasonable.

·The B780 (emulating the A721 emulating the Epson 375) powers up with compressed print selected.
