Switches E-1 to E-5 LQ Font Selection | Star Micronics LC24-20

International character sets differ in their assignment of 12 character codes in the Standard Italic character set. See the character tables in Chapter 11. With these switches you can select one of eight character sets as follows:

Country	D-2 D-3 D-4 Country				D-2 D-3 D-4
U.S.A.,	ON	ON	ON	Denmark I	ON	ON	OFF
France	OFF	ON	ON	Sweden	OFF	ON	OFF
Germany	ON	OFF	ON	Italy	ON	OFF	OFF
England	OFF	OFF	ON	Spain I	OFF	OFF	OFF

Switch D-5: CR Centering

If you set this switch OFF, the carriage moves to the center each time to feed paper near the perforation. This way, you can get better quality of printing around the preforations. It is recommended to match the page length setting to your fanfold paper, otherwise, this function does not work properly at the perforations.

If you leave this switch ON, the carriage does not move when feeding paper.
