PRINTER DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION

DIP Switch Panels

There are two DIP switches (DSW2 and DSW3) located underneath a snap-on cover on the front panel. These switches can be used to set:

Thermal transfer or direct thermal mode

Label sensor enable/disable

Head check mode

Hex dump mode

Single job or multi-job buffer

used to set the RS232C transmit/receive parameters. (NOTE: Not factory standard)

Each switch is an eight section “toggle” switch. The ON position is always to the top. To set the swit hes, first power the unit OFF, then position the DIP switches. Finally, after placing the switches in the desired positions, power the printer back on. The switch settings are read by the printer electronics during the power up sequence. They will not become effective until the power is cycled.
