Before You Change the Switch Settings
For DIP switch changes to have effect, you must first turn off
the printer.
Be sure to treat the switches gently. Avoid touching them with
your hands. Static charges, dirt and oil from your fingers can
harm the switches.
The switches are most easily changed with a pointed object
such as a small screwdriver or ball point pen.
On each switch panel is an arrow and the word ON to indicate
the ON position. You can also remember the settings on the
interface switches as being ON when up and OFF when down.
Warning:
The two sets of switches described here are the only ones
you should attempt to change. Do not attempt to make
changes to any other switches on the main circuit board;
changing the setting of the other DIP switches may result in
improper operation or damage to the printer.
How the DIP switches are identified
Each switch panel contains several switches, each with its own
identifying number.
Open the hinged front dust cover and look inside. The column
DIP switch panel is on the right. We’ll refer to these four switches
as SW-1 to SW-4.
Now look at the two groups of switches on the interface on the
back of the printer. These are referred to as Panel 1 (with four
switches) and Panel 2 (with eight). To identify these switches,
we’ll first use the panel number and then the switch number.
Thus, the second switch on Panel 1 is SWl-2, the third switch on
Panel 2 is SW2-3, and so on.
Column DIP Switch Panel
The first three switches of this panel (SW-l to SW-3) set the
width and shape of the printing area for a page. The fourth
switch is used with the optional cut sheet feeder.
Table D-l shows the DIP switch settings necessary to obtain
the size and shape of the different printing areas that are
possible.
Set these switches according to your needs.
