points to the connector area of the printer. The OFF direction
points to the power switch. The functions of each position may
evolve with the revisions of the firmware. The information below
applies to the latest version to the date of print of this manual.
This 8 position DIP switch works as following:
Switch

RS232 baud rate definition or Parallel interface
definition (ref. separate table below)
3
Even parity
None parity
4
XON handshaking
Hardware handshaking
5
Busy on “buffer full”
Busy on “off line”
6
Immediate cut
Protective cut
7
CR code effective
CR code ineffective
8
Factory internal setting
Application standard mode
Effect of positions 1 & 2 on baud rate is defined as in table
below with parity check set according to position 3, number of
data bits always set to 8, and stop bit set to 1. When the parallel
interface is used, please set both positions to ON.

Switch position 3 defines the parity check regulation in
serial interface. In Aura, it is selectable between even and none.
Switch position 4 defines the handshaking method in serial
interface. When it is set to ON, the printer transmits an “XOFF”
for busy and sends an “XON” 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 “DSR” or “CTS”. When parallel
interface is used, both switch positions 3 and 4 should be set to
OFF.
