DIP Switches
Auto line feed
When auto line feed is on (DIP switch 2-4 on), each carriage return
code (CR) is automatically accompanied by a line feed code (LF).
Input buffer capacity
The input buffer stores data from your computer. If you want to
free your computer for other tasks while the printer prints, change
the setting to 8 Kbytes (DIP switch 2-5 on). Before defining user-
defined characters, however, be sure to set the switch to 1 Kbyte
(off).
Print direction for graphics
The printer ordinarily prints text bidirectionally for speed and prints
graphics characters unidirectionally for precise vertical alignment.
You can, however, change text printing to unidirectional with the
software command ESC U1. If DIP switch 2-6 is on, you can
change graphics character printing to bidirectional with ESC U0. If
DIP switch 2-6 is off, graphics character printing is unidirectional
whether or not ESC U0 is used.
Page length
DIP switch 2-1 lets you select a page length of 11 inches (27.94 cm)
or 12 inches (30.48 cm). If you are using paper that is 12 inches long,
you can set this switch on. (Factory setting is off for 11 inch paper.)
Skip over perforation
DIP switch 2-3 controls the skip over perforation function. If this
switch is on when you are using continuous paper, the printer
leaves a one-inch margin between the last printed line on one page
and the first printable line on the next page so that the printer skips
over the perforation.
Most application programs take care of the top and bottom
margins. Therefore, do not turn on skip over perforation unless
your program does not provide these margins.
