Switch
1-5 controls the paper-end detector. When it is ON, the detec-
tor is inactive, causing printing to continue when the printer is out of
paper. When it is OFF, the printer stops when the end of the paper
passes the paper-end detector. The ESCape “8” command also per-
forms this function, but computer systems that monitor printer cable
pin 12 will ignore both ESCape 8 and the setting of switch 1-2. If you
have such a system and want to print on the bottom two inches of a
sheet of paper, there are two solutions to this problem. Buy a com-
puter cable designed to overcome the problem; or use longer paper as
a backing sheet.
Switches 7-6, 1-7, and 7-8 select the international character set as
shown in Table D-2.

Switch
2-1 controls the printing of zeroes. When it is ON, the zeroes
are slashed (0); when it is OFF, they are not.
Switch
2-2 regulates printer selection. When it is ON, DC1 and DC3
do not affect the printer. When it is OFF, DC1 selects the printer and
DC3 deselects the printer.
Switch
2-3 controls line feeds. When it is ON, the LX-90 adds an auto-
matic line feed to each carriage return; when it is OFF, it does not. If
your printing has an extra space between lines, turn the switch OFF. If
all the lines of your printing are on top of each other, turn the switch
ON.
