Chapter 3: Using the EDS Mode
The letters “EDS” stand for “Electronic DIP Switches.” Just like the small DIP
switches that are used by many computers, printers, and other devices, the EDS
lets you configure the printer so that it matches your system and software needs.
This chapter describes how to enter the printer’s EDS Mode and provides details
about available settings and how to change them.
The following table shows the three categories of EDS settings that are
available, along with the actual settings under each category.
All switch settings are ON when the printer is shipped from the factory.
