Functions of the DIP Switches, Ibm | Star Micronics SJ-48 instruction

FUNCTIONS OF THE DIP SWITCHES

The printer is factory-set with all DIP switches in the ON position. These are the standard settings. By changing the settings, you can alter various printer functions to match your requirements. The following questions will help you choose the proper settings.

Switch	Function	ON	OFF
1	Emulation	Standard	IBM
2	RAM usage	Buffer	Download
3	Auto LF with CR	Disabled	Enabled
4	Automatic Sheet Feeder	Inactive	Active

Switch 1: 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 printer operates like the Epson LQ-850. In IBM mode it operates like the IBM Proprinter X24E. The ON position selects standard mode. The OFF position selects IBM mode.

Switch 2: Does your software download new characters to the printer with the Standard mode?

In order to download characters’with the Standard mode, this switch must be in the OFF position. 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: This switch takes no effect with the IBM mode. In the IBM mode, you cannot download characters.

Switch 3: Do you want an automatic line feed?

If you leave this switch at 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 line feed each time it receives a carriage-return code.

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

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