Using DIP Switches

This printer has three sets of DIP switches. DIP switches control a variety of printer functions such as page length and printing speed. DIP-switch settings are shown in the DIP-switch tables starting on page 3-10. Descriptions of all the DIP-switch functions are provided beginning on page 3-14.

Because the factory (default) settings are designed to accommodate the needs of most users, you may never need to change the DIP-switch settings.
