Setting the DIP Switches The DIP Switch Functions Auto line feed When auto line feed is on (DIP switch 2-4 on), each carriage return code (CR) is automatically followed by a line feed code (LF). 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 of switch 2-5 to 8 KB (on). Before using user-defined characters, however, be sure to set the input buffer to 1 KB (off). Tear-off mode When DIP switch 2-2 is on, the short tear-off mode is on. This feature automatically advances continuous paper to the tear-off position, and then reverse-feeds the paper to the loading position. See the section on using short tear-off later in this chapter. 0I 1 CAUTION: Do not use the short tear-off mode with labels. Print direction of multi-pass characters Multi-pass characters are normally printed unidirectionally. If DIP switch 2-6 is on and ESC U0 is input, multi-pass characters are printed bi-directionally.
