The bank of DIP (Dual In-line Package) switches inside the printer is used to define the various default printer functions.

This chapter explains where the DIP switches are located, and how to use them.

LOCATION OF THE DIP SWITCHES

When you open the top cover and the paper cover and look inside, you will see the small compartment at the right side of the printer with small white switches. These are the printer’s DIP switches, named 1 to 10 from left to right.

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.
