5.2. Setting of DIP switch No. 2

The DIP switch No. 2 consists of	the following 4 pins. A summary of the functions
of the respective DIP switch pins	and their preset conditions at the time of ship-
ment are shown in Table 4.

Table 4 Functions and Conditions of DIP Switch No. 2

SW pin No.		Function		OFF	ON	Factory-set
						condition
2-1	International	character	set	See Table 5.
2-2	International	character	set	See Table 5.
2-3	AUTO FEED	XT signal internally		Not fixed	Fixed	OFF
	fixed or not fixed
2-4	1 inch skip-over perforation			Valid	Invalid	ON

(1)SW2-1 & 2-2: Combined use of these two pins and SW1-7 permit selection of the international character set for U.S.A., France, Germany, England, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, and Spain as shown in Table 5 upon power applica- tion.

(2)SW2-3: This pin is used to fix AUTO FEED XT signal internally. (Refer to the explanation of control code “CR” in paragraph 3.1 (1) “WHAT IS THE MX-80 TYPE II?“.) This signal line is wired ORed with the pin No. 14 of the interface connector. Therefore, to control the pin No. 14 externally through TTL, etc., leave this DIP switch pin to the OFF position.

(3)SW2-4: This pin is used to set the automatic skip-over perforation function.

(a)When this pin is set to the OFF position, the automatic skip-over perfora- tion function becomes valid. By this function, the paper automatically

advances to the first line of the next page when the remaining page length is 1 inch.

(b)When this pin is set to the ON position, the l-inch automatic skip-over perforation function becomes invalid. However, you can activate this func- tion programmably (described in detail later).
