Switch 1-1--In the down position, this switch
allows
you to create a
buffer of
2048
bytes
of memory.
This
buffer can be useful when you
want to print a document at the same time you continue to use your
computer for other tasks.
WARNING:
If you turn
OFF
the LQ-1500, any information in the
buffer is lost.
Switch 1-2--Switch 1-2 enables a detector in the LQ-1500 that warns
you when the printer is out of paper. This is very important when you
are using continuous paper. The printer stops, issues an audible warn-
ing, and waits for you to load more paper before proceeding-and no
data is lost.
However, if you are using single sheets, the paper-out detector stops
the printer when it nears the bottom of the sheet (even if you want to
print all the way to the bottom or if you have another sheet ready to
feed). In this case, it is best to disable the paper-out detector by turning
switch
1-2
to the Up position. With the printer’s paper-out detector
disabled, the application software in your computer must determine
when it has come to the end of a page. Check with your software
dealer if you have difficulty.
Switch 1-3--Switch 1-3 controls whether or not the LQ-1500 does an
automatic line feed each time it receives a carriage return. Some com-
puters do not send line feeds to the printer which means that this
switch must be up.
Switch 2
Switch 2 determines which print characteristics will be in use when
the
LQ-1500
is turned on. Each of these functions can be changed at
