Switch 1-8: Do you want an automatic line feed?

quired to obtain a line feed.
If you move this switch to the OFF position, the printer performs both a
carriage return and line feed each time it receivesa carriage-return code.
Most computer systemssend a linefeed code, or both a carriage return and
line feed, at the end of each line, so this switch should be left ON.

overprint each other, try changing the setting of this switch.
