Switch l-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 at the end of the paper, or to keep printing?

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 IBMmode?

Select the mode compatible with your computer and software. In standard mode the printer operates like the Epson LQ-1050. In IBM mode it operates like the IBM Proprinter XL24. 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 char- actes?

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 Chapter 9, character codes 128 to 254.

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

ON selects character set #2, which is for computers with an 8-bit interface (the most common kind). OFF selects character set #l, for computers with a 7-bit interface.
