for  not  busy.  When  it  is  set  to  OFF,  the  printer  signifies  the  busy  status  over 
hardware signals that can be detected by the host as “DTR” or “DSR”. 
For switch position 5, if the switch is set to ON, the busy signal is sent to host 
only when input buffer is full. When it is set to OFF, busy signal is sent to host 
whenever an off line status occurs. Therefore, signals including the paper near 
end  detect  will  generate  busy  signal  to  the  host.  Consequently,  the  printing 
may be stopped even when there is still a long way to go before the paper roll 
is actually exhausted. Taking the paper out beep into consideration, the printer 
will keep on beeping at Paper End (completely no paper) till paper is replaced 
when  S1-5  is  ON.  Yet  when  S1-5  is  OFF,  the  printer  will  keep  on  beeping 
every  3  seconds  at  Paper  Near  End  (still  long  paper  in  replace)  till  paper  is 
replaced. 
For  switch  position  6,  when  it  is  set  to  OFF,  there  will  be  a  12.5  mm  paper 
feed before cutting when software does not define this point and there will be 
further  2  mm  paper  after  cutting  to  prevent  paper  jam.  Before  setting  this 
switch  to  ON,  please  make  sure  that  your  software  will  take  care  of  enough 
paper feed for the paper jam prevention issue. 

For  switch  position  7,  when  it  is  set  to  ON,  the  printer  responds  to  a 

carriage return command (CR code or 0Dh) with also a line feed (LF code or 
0Ah)  action.  Then  if  the  text  editor  always  express  the  change  to  a  new  line 
with  both  the  CR  and  LF  codes,  there  will  be  an  extra  line  advance  than 
expected. However it works for some old editors that express the change to a 
new line with only either one of the LF code or the CR code. 

Switch position 8 defines the firmware update function. If the printer 

needs to update the firmware, please set to “ON” position. In order to 
operating perfectly, please set in “OFF” when the printer do not needs to 
update the firmware or in normal situation.
