(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 application.

(2)SW2-3: This pin is used to fix AUTO FEED XT signal internally. (Refer to the ex- planation of control code “CR” in paragraph 3.1 (1) “WHAT IS THE MX-82”) This signal line is wired ORed with the pin No. 14 of the interface connector. Therefo- re, 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 perforation 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 1 inch automatic skip-over per- foration function becomes invalid.

However, you can activate this function programmably. (described in detail later.)
