Switch A-l:Do you want to use the printer in Standard mode or IBM mode?

Select the mode compatible with your computer and software. In Standard mode the prinlcr operates like the Epson LQ-860. In IBM mode it operates like the IBM Proprintcr X24E. The ON position selects Standard mode. The OFF position selects IBM mode.

Switch A-2:Does your software download characters to the printer?

In order to download characters this switch must be in the OFFposition. The printer then uses its RAM memory for storing character patterns and

‘..- provides only a one-line print buffer. If you leave this switch ON, the printer uses its RAM memory as an input buffer, allowing the computer to send data faster than the printer prints.

NOTE: When you want to download characters with IBM mode by the monochrome version printer, you must install the optional RAM cartridge (RC-322). Otherwise, you cannot download even if this switch is set OFF.

Switch A-3:Do you want an automatic line feed?

If you leave this switch in the ON position, a separate line-feed code is required from your computer to obtain a line feed.

If you move this switch to the OFF position, the printer performs both a carriage return and Iine feed each time it receives a carriage-return code.

Most computer systems send a line feed code, or both a carriage rctum and line feed, at the end of each line, so this switch should be left ON.

If you get double lint spacing when you expect single spacing, or if lines overprint each other, try changing the setting of this switch.

Switch A-4:Are you going to use the automatic sheet feeder (ASF)?

In order to use the automatic sheet feeder SF-lODQ, move this switch to the OFF position. Otherwise leave it ON.

Switch A-S:Arc you going to print dot graphics uni-directionally?

When printing in dot graphics mode, the printer may either print bidirection- ally (in alternate directions) forspccd or in one direction only (unidirectional for increased accuracy). For practically all purposes, however, bidirectional printing is sufficiently accurate. In order to print uni-directionally, move this switch to the OFF position.
