Printer Configuration

The printer’s configuration is controlled using switches which are located in the battery compartment as shown below.

Configuration Switch Location

Some of these switches control the communications interfaces which include Serial RS232 and IrDA on the Mt2 models, and the additional Bluetooth interface on the Mt2B models. These interface switches must be set to match the settings on the host computer system in order for the host and printer to communicate properly.

In the case of Mt2B models, the printer’s Auto Power Off feature is also controlled by one of these switches.

These switch assignments are shown in the following table. Following the table are detailed descriptions of how to use these switches to control each interface and the printer’s power.

For information regarding optional serial cables, or for information regarding software drivers and printing utilities for various host operating systems, please refer to “Printer Supplies and Accessories” on page 27.
