D/P SWITCH SETTINGS

The bank of DIP (Dual In-line Package) switches inside the printer is used for various functions.

This chapter explains where the DIP switches are located, and how to use them.

LOCATION OF THE DIP SWITCHES

When you remove the printer’s cover and look inside, you will see on the green board at the bottom of the printer two groups of small white switches marked DSWl and DSW2. These arc the printer’s DIP switches. DSWl has eight switches, named 1-l to l-8 from Icft to right. DSW2 has eight switches named 2-l to 2-8.

For all switches, the ON position is towards the back of the printer and the OFF position is towards the front. To set a DIP switch, use a ballpoint pen or other small implement to move the switch to the ON or OFF position.

The printer’s power should be off when you set the DIP switches. Settings made while power is on do not take effect until power is switched off, then on again, because the printer reads the DIP switches only at power-up.
