the green board at the bottom of the printer two groups of small white
switchesmarkedDSW1 andDSW2. These arethe printer’sDIP (Dual In-line
Package) switches. DSW1 has eight switches,named 1-1 to 1-8 from left
to right. DSW2 has four switchesnamed 2-1 to 2-4.
For allswitches, the ON positionis towards the back of the printer and
