Using DIP Switches
Your printer has five sets of DIP switches which control printer
functions such as page length and printing speed. DIP switch
settings are shown in the DIP switch tables starting on page
4-11. Descriptions of all the DIP switch functions are provided
beginning on page 4-16.
Because the factory (default) settings are designed to
accommodate the needs of most users, you may never need to
change any DIP switch settings.
Note:
You can print the current DIP switch settings by holding down the
Pause
button while you turn on the printer.
Changing DIP switch settings
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Open the printer’s front cover by lifting the middle of its
bottom edge until it locks in place.
3. The DIP switches are located in a small compartment on the
front paper guide, behind the front tractor paper. If paper is
loaded on the front tractor, either remove it or lift it out of
the way so you can reach the DIP switches.
