The DIP Switch Functions Auto line feed When auto line feed is on (DIP switch 2-8 on), each carriage return code (CR) is automatically followed by a line feed code (LF). Printing direction With unidirectional printing, the print head prints in one direction only. This allows for precise vertical alignment, making it ideal for printing graphics such as lines and boxes. When DIP switch l-5 is on, the printer prints unidirectionally; when it is off, the printer prints bidirectionally. Either setting can be overridden by a software command (ESC U). To achieve precise vertical alignment without the slower printing speed caused by unidirectional printing, see your authorized service dealer for adjustment of your bidirectional print settings. Tear-off mode When DIP switch 2-7 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. 01 CAUTION: Do not use the short tear-off mode with labels. . High-speed draft When DIP switch l-6 is off, high-speed draft is selected. When the DIP switch is on, normal draft is selected. High-speed draft prints at 300 characters per second but produces characters that are not as fully formed as the ones produced with normal draft. If you select a feature such as emphasized, double-strike, or condensed in highspeed draft mode, the printing speed will temporarily switch to normal draft speed until the enhancement is turned off. This allows you to use any print enhancement without canceling high-speed draft. 3-10 Using the Printer
