DIP Switches

ADAPTER, On the back of the printer, you will find a small window where you WIRELESS can access two DIP switches labeled 1 and 2 (see Figure 2 on ADAPTER page 42). The functions of the DIP switches are explained in

Table 7.

NOTE: The DIP switches are not marked with “on” or “off” labels. Instead, the status of the switch is indicated by its position, up or down. If the interface card has been installed upside down (i.e., the DIP switches are to the left of the cable connector), your DIP switch positions will be reversed and the settings inverted.

		Comments
1	2
up	up	Normal operation. With both DIP switches in the “off” position, the
		Ethernet Interface boots up using the settings in flash memory rather
		than the default settings.
down	up	Factory default. With the DIP switches in this configuration, the
		Ethernet Interface boots up and all settings stored in flash memory
		are erased except the Ethernet address and key value.
up	down	Default IP. With the DIP switches in this configuration, the Ethernet
		Interface boots up with factory default settings. However, the stored
		settings in flash memory are intact. Setting DIP switch 2 to “on” does
		not clear any settings stored in flash memory; it boots the unit in a
		different state with the settings in flash memory temporarily ignored.
down	down	Reserved. This DIP switch configuration is not for customer use.
