DIP Switch Problems?

There is a bank of eight DIP switches on the back of the main unit, between the monitor outlet and the speaker volume knob.

Some software (such as Valdocs) might not work at all if the DIP switches are set incorrectly, or the software might give you a message on the monitor as to which switch(es) should be changed. Your software manual will specify the positions of the switches.

Note: For Valdocs to operate correctly, the switches must be arranged as pictured below (except when you want to print graphic characters; in this case, see your vladocs User’s Guide for instructions).

Printer Problems?

If your printer has been up and running for some time, working compatibly with your software, and suddenly you find that all your printing is coming out wrong (or not coming out at all), check the troubleshooting section of your printer manual.

On the other hand, if your printer is not working correctly but has just been installed, you either have a communications problem that can be resolved by rechecking the printer manual or you need to check your printer manual for the correct DIP switch setting.
