Dot-matrix printer switch settings

The HP Rugged Writer is a dot-matrix printer. This printer can be configured in HP PCL mode, which provides ISO Latin-1 international support as well as higher-quality graphics, or in Epson mode, which provides faster printing of reports. Table 98 shows the correct DIP switch settings for use with the CCR application.

!

CAUTION

Risk of hardware damage

Never use pencils or other graphite tools when changing the position of the DIP switches. Flakes of graphite can enter the switch and short-circuit the printer.
