Switch 1-3 When | Star Micronics lC-10 specs

Switch l-l:Is the page length of your paper 11 inches or 12 inches?

Leave this switch ON if you will be using 11-inch forms. Move it to the OFF position if you will be using 12-inch forms.

Switch 1-2:Do you want an automatic carriage return?

Leave this switch ON. The printer will automatically perform a carriage return by moving to the left margin at each line feed. Even if your software

sends a separate carriage-return code, an extra carriage return does no harm

because two consecutive carriage returns are the same as one. Very few.- programs require this switch to be OFF.

Switch 1-3: When	you	select the Orator type style on the control	panel,
do you want lower-case letters to print as lower case (OFF)
or as	small	capitals (ON)?	-	-.
				-.

Take your pick from the samples below. Note that lower-case Orator does not have descenders for the letters g, j, p, q. and y.

ORATOR PRINTS THIS WAY WITH SWITCH l-3 ON. Orator Prints this way with switch t-3 OFF.

Switch 1-4:Are you going to use the automatic sheet feeder (ASF)?

To use the automatic sheet feeder, move this switch to the OFF position. Otherwise leave it ON.

Switch 1-5:Do you want the printer to stop printing about an inch from the end of the paper, or to keep printing to the bottom?

Leave this switch ON except when you need to print very close to the end

of the paper. When this switch is OFF the printer ignores the paper-out detector and prints down to (and beyond) the bottom edge.

Switch 1-6:Do you want to use the printer in standard mode or IBM mode?

Select the mode compatible with your computer and software. In standard mode the printer operates like the Epson LX-800. In IBM mode it operates

like the IBM Proprinter II. The ON position selects standard mode. The OFF position selects IBM mode.

Switch l-7:The action of this switch depends on the mode chosen with switch l-6.

If you selected standard mode, do you want italics or graphic charactes?

Leave this switch ON to print italics in the standard character set. If you set this switch to the OFF position, in place of italics you will get the graphic

characters, international characters, and mathematical symbols of IBM character set #2. See Appendix D, character codes 128 to 254.

If you selected IBM mode, do you want IBM character set #l or #2?
