Printer DIP Switch Configuration
There are two DIP switches (DSW2 & DSW3) located on the left side of the printer
under a flip-up cover. Raise the Top Cover for access to these switches. In addition,
a third DIP switch is located on the RS232C Serial Adapter card and is used to set the
RS232C transmit/receive parameters. These switches can be used to set:
8. Thermal Transfer of Direct Thermal Mode
9. Label Sensor Enable / Disable
10. Head Check Mode
11. Hex Dump Mode
12. Single Job or Multi-Job Receive Buffer
13. Operation Mode
Each switch is an eight section toggle switch. The ON position is always to the left.
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.
Parity Selection (DSW1-2, DSW1-3) – These switches select the type of parity used
for error detection.
Stop Bit Selection (DSW1-4) – Selects the number of stop bits to end each byte
transmission.
Baud Rate Selection (DSW1-5, DSW1-6) – Selects the data rate (bps) for the RS232
port.
Protocol Selection (DSW1-7, DSW1-8) – Selects the flow control and status
reporting protocols.
Printer Set Up
