Switch 3: RAM Usage

Specifies whether RAM should be used as an input buffer (ON) or as a download buffer (OFF). Selecting input buffer (ON) tells the printer to use available RAM to store data it receives from the computer, which speeds up the printing. Selecting download buffer (OFF) tells the printer to use available RAM to store character patterns.

Switch 4: Automatic Sheet Feeder

Specifies whether the optional SF-10DT Automatic Sheet Feeder is installed (OFF) or not installed (ON).

Switch 5: Paper Out Detector

Specifies whether the printer’s paper out detector is enabled (ON) or disabled (OFF). When the paper out detector is enabled (ON), the printer automatically stops printing whenever it senses there is no more paper. When it is disabled (OFF), the printer continues printing as long as there is data. Selecting disabled (OFF) makes it possible to print right up to the bottom of a page, but it also creates the danger of printing when there is no paper loaded in the printer, which can damage the print head and platen.

Switch 6: CR Centering

Specifies whether the printer’s CR centering feature is enabled (OFF) or disabled (ON). When CR centering is enabled (OFF), the carriage moves to the center of the platen before fanfold paper is fed or while printing is being performed near a perforation. The printer automatically stops printing whenever it senses there is no more paper. When it is disabled (ON), the carriage does not move before the paper is fed. If CR centering is enabled (OFF), be sure that you set the page length of the fanfold paper you are using to the correct value. Otherwise, CR centering will be performed at the wrong time.
