DIP 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 are the printer’s DIP switches. DSWl has
eight switches, named l-l to l-8 from left to right. DSW2 has eight switches
named 2-1 to 2-8.
Figure 3-I. DIP switches
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. 31
