Setting the DIP Switches The DIP switch functions This section describes the different features you can control with the printer's DIP switches. Slashed zero When DIP switch l-2 is on, the printer prints slashed zeros(0). When the DIP switch is off, the printer prints open zeros (0). This feature is useful for clearly distinguishing between uppercase 0 and zero when printing documents such as program lists. Printer mode When DIP switch l-4 is on, the printer operates in IBM emulation mode. When the DIP switch is off, the printer operates in Epson ESC/P mode. The functions of DIP switches 1-3, 1-6, 1-7, 1-8, and 2-1 in IBM emulation mode differ from their functions in Epson ESC/P mode. The tables on the previous page describe the special functions of these DIP switches in IBM emulation mode. Default character set When DIP switch 2-l is on, the user-defined character set is the default. User-defined characters are maintained in the printer's memory even when the power is turned off, so you can select the user-defined character set simply by turning on this DIP switch. However, when the switch is on, you cannot define new userdefined characters. The setting of this DIP switch takes effect only if DIP switch l-4 is set for Epson ESC/P mode. See Chapter 4 for more information on user-defined characters. Draft printing speed When DIP switch 2-2 is off, high-speed draft mode is selected. When the switch is on, normal draft mode is selected. This switch only affects the printer if DIP switch 1-5 is set for draft mode (turned off) or if draft mode is selected through your software. In high-speed draft mode, the DFX-8000 can print up to 1066 characters per second at 10 cpi (characters per inch). In normal 3-14 Using the Printer
