Epson LQ-1010 Printer User Manual


 
The DIP Switch Functions
Auto line feed
When auto line feed is on (DIP switch
2-4
on),
each
carriage return
code (CR) is automatically followed 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 of switch
2-5
to 8 KB (on). Before using user-defined characters,
however, be sure to set the input buffer to 1 KB (off).
Tear-off mode
When DIP switch
2-2
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.
CAUTION:
Do not use the short tear-off mode with labels.
Print direction of multi-pass characters
Multi-pass characters are normally printed unidirectionally. If DIP
switch
2-6
is on and ESC
U0
is input, multi-pass characters are printed
bi-directionally.
