Setting the DIP Switches

The printer has two sets of DIP switches located under a small cover above the control panel. By changing the settings of these switches, you can control various printer features, such as the character set and page length. The new settings become effective when the printer is turned on, reset, or initialized.

DIP switch settings are shown in the DIP switch tables later in this section. Descriptions of all the DIP switch functions follow the tables.

Changing a DIP Switch Setting

To change a DIP switch setting, follow these steps:

1.Turn off the printer.

2.Open the DIP switch cover and use a pointed object, such as a pen, to change the DIP switch settings. A DIP switch is on when it is up, and off when it is down.

The new DIP switch settings take effect when the printer is turned on.
