On bottom cover of the Aura-6800 series thermal printer, there is screwed a metal plate for setup window. In this window, there is an 8-position DIP switch for printer setup. Please use proper tool to change the switch setting when necessary. The switch position counting starts from the nearest edge of printer. The functions of each position may

evolve with the revisions of the firmware. The information below applies to the latest version to the date of print of this manual.

The 8-position SW1 DIP switch works as following:

Switch	ON	OFF

3	Paper Width 58mm	Paper Width 80mm
4	Line format (for 80 mm	Line format (for 80 mm paper) at 512
	paper) at 576 Dot/Line	Dot/Line
5	Busy on “buffer full”	Busy on “buffer full” and/or “off line”
6	Cut without paper feed	Cut with auto paper feed

8	Firmware Update Enable	Firmware Update Disable

Effect of positions 1 & 2 on baud rate is defined as in table below:

SW1 Pos. 1	OFF	OFF	ON	ON
SW1 Pos. 2	OFF	ON	OFF	ON
Baud rate setup	19200 bps	115200 bps	9600 bps	38400 bps

Switch position 3 defines the paper width. When it place in “ON”, the paper width will be 58mm. In other words, if it needs the paper width at 80mm then please set to “OFF”.

Switch position 4 is usually set to OFF for ESC/POS command application that prints at 512 dots / line. Only technical users shall set this switch to ON and make the printer work in the 576 dots / line format.
