Setting the DIP Switches DIP switch functions This section describes the different features you can control with the printer's DIP switches. Page length and CSF page length When DIP switch 1-8 is off (cut-sheet feeder mode is off), DIP switches 2-1 and 2-2 let you select a page length of 8.5 inches (216 mm), 11 inches (279 mm), 11.7 inches (296 mm), or 12 inches (305 mm). When DIP switch 1-8 is on (cut-sheet feeder mode is on), you can select the CSF (Cut-Sheet Feeder) page length of A4- or Letter-size paper by setting DIP switches 2-1 and 2-2. Auto line feed When auto line feed is on (DIP switch 2-3 on), each carriage return code (CR) is automatically accompanied by a line feed code (LF). If your printer is double spacing, turn the DIP switch off. If each line overprints the next, turn the DIP switch on. Input buffer capacity The input buffer stores data from your computer. If you want to free your computer for other tasks while the printer prints, change the setting to 8 Kbytes (DIP switch 2-4 on). Before defining userdefined characters, however, be sure to return the setting to 1 Kbyte (DIP switch 2-4 off). 3-10 Using the Printer

This section describes the different features you can control with the
printer’s DIP switches.
Page length and CSF page length
When DIP switch
1-8
is off (cut-sheet feeder mode is off), DIP
switches 2-1 and 2-2 let you select
a
page length of 8.5 inches (216
mm), 11 inches (279 mm),
11.7
inches (296 mm), or 12 inches (305
mm).
When DIP switch 1-8 is on (cut-sheet feeder mode is on), you can
select the CSF (Cut-Sheet Feeder) page length of A4- or Letter-size
paper by setting DIP switches 2-1 and
2-2.
Auto line feed
When auto line feed is on (DIP switch
2-3
on), each carriage return
code (CR) is automatically accompanied by a line feed code (LF). If
your printer is double spacing, turn the DIP switch off. If each line
overprints the next, turn the DIP switch on.
Input buffer capacity
The input buffer stores data from your computer. If you want to
free your computer for other tasks while the printer prints, change
the setting to 8 Kbytes (DIP switch 2-4 on). Before defining user-
defined characters, however, be sure to return the setting to 1 Kbyte
(DIP switch
2-4
off).
