PRINTER DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION ALL MODELS
DIP Switch Panels
There are three DIP switches (DSW1, DSW2 and DSW3). On the CL608 and the
CL612, DSW2 and DSW3 are located underneath a flip-down cover of the front
panel. DSW1 (used to set the RS232 parameters) is located on the Serial Interface
board and the board must be removed to change the settings. DSW2 and DSW3 are
located behind the Front Access Door on the CL408 and CL412. These switches can
be used to set:
• RS232C transmit/receive parameters
• Thermal transfer or direct thermal mode
• Label sensor enable/disable
• Head check mode
• Hex dump mode
• Receive buffer size
• Operation mode
Each switch is an eight section “toggle” switch. The ON position is always to the top.
To set the switches, first power the unit Off, then position the DIP switches. Finally,
after placing the switches in the desired positions, power the printer back on. The
switch settings are read by the printer electronics during the power up sequence.
They will not become effective until the power is cycled.
RS232 Transmit/Receive Setting
Data Bit Selection (DSW1-1). This switch sets the printer to receive either 7 or 8
bit data bits for each byte transmitted. Located on RS232 Interface Card.
Parity Selection (DSW1-2, DSW1-3). These switches select the type of parity
used for error detection.
