Canon BJ-230 Printer User Manual


 
DIP switch 1
Use this switch to change the horizontal print position according to the
size of your paper. If you are using letter size paper or envelopes, leave
this switch set to OFF; the left margin will be 0.25 inch (6.4 mm) and the
maximum print width will be 10.5 inches. If you are using A4 size paper,
set this switch ON; the left margin will be 0.13 inch (3.4 mm) and the
maximum print width will be 11.4 inches.
DIP switch 2
If you are using a software application that assumes 66 lines will fit on
each page, set this switch to ON. The printer will reduce the line spacing
by a factor of 14/15, which is from 63 lines per page to 66 lines per page
if line spacing is set to 6 lines per inch (lpi).
DIP switch 3
Use this switch to turn on reduction mode. In this mode, the printer
reduces characters and graphics to two-thirds of their normal size. When
the printer is in envelope mode, reduction mode is disabled.
DIP switch 4
If you are using letter size paper, set this switch Off; this sets the page
length to 11 inches. If you are using A4 size paper, set this switch ON;
this sets the page length to 12 inches.
DIP switch 5
When this switch is OFF, the printer uses the Epson Italics character set,
which includes italic characters. When this which is ON, the printer uses
the Epson Graphics character set, which is the same as the MS-DOS
code page 437 (this character set includes symbols, lines, corners, and
European characters). See Appendix C for information on the character
sets.
