FUNCTIONS OF THE DIP SWITCHES

The printer is delivered with all DIP switch set to the ON position. These are the standard settings. By changing the settings, you can alter various printer functions to match your requirements. The following questions will help you make the right settings.

Internationalcharacter set

Font style and pitch selection

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 pro- grams require this switch to be OFF.
