The DIP Switches Several tiny switches called DIP (for Dual In-Line Package) switches are inside the FX-286 printer. These switches control a number of important printer functions. Although the factory settings are the best for most uses, you may want to change some of them. The design of the FX-286 gives you easy access to the switches, which are under the access cover on the right side of the printer. To remove the cover, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the top screw. Then press the cover down and sideways with the palm of your hand as shown in Figure A-1. Figure A-1 also shows the location of the switches and their factory settings. Figure A-1. DIP switch location Always turn the power OFF (with the switch on the left side of the printer) before you change the setting of any of these switches. Any changes made while the power is on will be ignored until you turn the printer off and back on. So set all switches with the power off. A-2

The DIP Switches
Several tiny switches called DIP (for Dual In-Line Package)
switches are inside the FX-286 printer. These switches control a num-
ber of important printer functions. Although the factory settings are
the best for most uses, you may want to change some of them.
The design of the FX-286 gives you easy access to the switches,
which are under the access cover on the right side of the printer. To
remove the cover, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the top screw.
Then press the cover down and sideways with the palm of your hand
as shown in Figure
A-1.
Figure
A-1
also shows the location of the switches and their factory
settings.

Always turn the power OFF (with the switch on the left side of the
printer) before you change the setting of any of these switches. Any
changes made while the power is on will be ignored until you turn the
printer off and back on. So set all switches with the power off.
