CONFIGURATION

PRINTER DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION

DIP Switch Panels

There are two DIP switches (DSW2 and DSW3) located inside the cover. 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 Receive buffer

Operation mode

In addition, a third DIP switch is located on the RS232 Serial Adapter module and is used to set the RS232C transmit/receive parameters

Each switch is an eight section toggle switch. The ON position is always to the top. To set the switches, 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.

RS232 Transmit/Receive Setting (located on RS232 I/F Module)

Data Bit Selection (DSW1-1). This switch sets the printer to receive either 7 or 8 bit data bits for each byte transmitted.
