Switch position 6 defines the parity check regulation in serial interface. In Aura-6800, it is selectable between even and none.

For switch position 7 can choice the handshaking method in serial interface. When it is set to ON, the printer transmits an “XOFF” for busy and sends an “XON” for not busy. When it is set to OFF, the printer signifies the busy status over hardware signals that can be detected by the host as “DSR” or “CTS”. When parallel interface is used, both switch positions 3 and 4 should be set to OFF.

For switch position 8, when it is set to ON, the printer responds to a carriage return command (CR code or 0Dh) with also a line feed (LF code or 0Ah) action. Then if the text editor always expresses the change to a new line with both the CR and LF codes, there will be an extra line advance than expected. However it works for some old editors that express the change to a new line with only either one of the LF code or the CR code.

The factory default for each position listed as below:
