Table E-2. International DIP switch settings See Chapter 6 for a discussion of the international sets. Switch 1-5: selects a default print weight. When it is ON, Emphasized is the default. When it is OFF, Single-Strike is the default. Switch 7-4: controls the RAM memory. When it is ON, makes a 2K buffer available. When it is OFF, that memory can be used for userdefined characters. Switch 1-3: controls the paper-out sensor. When it is ON, the sensor is deactivated, and printing will continue even when paper is out (printer stays on-line). When it is OFF, printing stops when the printer runs out of paper. The printer goes off-line (and the beeper sounds if switch 2-2 is on). Switch 1-2: controls the printing of zeroes. When it is ON, the FX prints a slashed zero (0). When it is OFF, a normal zero is printed. Switch 1-1: selects a default pitch. When it is ON Compressed Mode becomes the default. When it is OFF, Pica is the default. If both switch 1-5 and switch 1-1 are ON, Emphasized Mode takes priority over Compressed. Switch 2-4: controls the line feed. When it is ON, the printer produces an automatic line feed with every carriage return. When it is OFF no line feed is added (line feed must be provided by computer). Switch 2-3: controls the skip-over perforation feature. When it is ON, a form feed is produced one inch from the bottom of every form. Note that the top of form is set when the printer is turned ON. This switch is used primarily to skip automatically over the paper perforation of fanfold paper. When it is OFF, no skip is made. See chapter 8 for details. 298
