The manual-feed knob is used to advance the paper manually. It is located on the right side of your printer. When your printer is packed, the knob is pushed in flush with the right side. To bring it out, push the center of the knob in and release it. The knob should pop out. To feed the paper manually, turn the knob clockwise. See Figure 1-7.

Figure 1-7. Manual-feed knobDIP Switches

Two groups of switches, called DIP switches, are located at the back of your printer (Figure l-8).The first group of four switches is referred to as switch 1 and the second group of eight switches is referred to as switch 2. These switches are set at the factory, and you probably won’t need to touch them. You may, however, want to take the time to learn about the switches and their functions in case you need to make adjustments.
