Serial baud rate
If your computer is set up for serial communication you may
need to change the serial bit (also known as baud) rate setting.
The serial baud rate is the rate at which the printer receives
data from the computer.
DIP switches 4-7 and 4-8 control the serial baud rate. Table F
(page 4-16) lists the DIP switch settings for the printer’s four
baud rate settings. Check your computer manual or application
program for the correct serial baud rate setting. Your computer
and printer should always be set to the same baud rate.
Overlapping multi-part forms, Continuous forms with labels,
Paper memory
By setting DIP switches 5-1, 5-2, and 5-4, you can print on
multi-part forms that vary in thickness. See “Using the Paper
Memory Feature” on page 4-22.
Skip over binding
When DIP switch 5-3 is on, the print head avoids the binding
area along the right and left edges of multi-part forms during
paper feeding. This makes paper feeding easier and prevents
paper jams.
