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

Leave this switch ON if you will be using 1 l-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?

Normally you should 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. Set this switch to the OFF position only if you have a program that needs to move the paper vertically without a carriage return, which is fairly unusual.

Switch 1-3:Do you want a bottom margin?

Leave this switch ON if you do not want to set the bottom margin. Move it to the OFF position if you want to set the bottom margin to the l-inch.

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 e.dge.

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 LQ-800. In IBM mode it operates

like the IBM Proprinter X24. The ON position selects standard mode. The OFF position selects IBM mode.

Switch 1-7: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.
