Switch l-l: Is the page length of your paper 11 inches or 12 inches?

Leave this switch ON if you will be using 1l-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.
