Reset/run

Up: The printer resets and does not accept data while

 

 

the switch is in this position.

 

 

Down. The printer runs a self-test, then proceeds to run

 

 

normally. Leave the switch down for normal operation.

Up. When only Switch 4 is moved from down to up, the

 

 

printer prints a configuration page.

 

 

Down. Normal operation.

Start Job

Up: The Sys/Start job on the hard disk does not run.

 

 

Down: The Sys/Start job runs if the file exists on the

 

 

disk.

6Cleaning mode Up: At power-up, the printer rotates the rollers for a few seconds, then stops the rotation. See “Cleaning the printer” on page 4-5.

Down: Normal operation.

7Baud Rate Up: Fixed. Sets the serial communication parameters to 1200 baud, software flagging, and ignore parity.

 

Down: Variable. Lets you change the serial

 

communication parameters. The factory setting is 9600

 

baud, software flagging, and ignore parity.
