PRINTER DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION
DIP Switch Panels
There are three DIP switches (DSW1, DSW2 and DSW3) located underneath a
snap-on cover on the front panel. 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.
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.
