DIP Switch
On bottom cover of the Aura-6800 series thermal
printer, there is screwed a metal plate for setup
window. In this window, there is an 8-position DIP
switch for printer setup. Please use proper tool to
change the switch setting when necessary. The
switch position counting starts from the nearest
edge of printer. 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.
The 8-position SW1 DIP switch works as following:

Switch position 3 defines the paper width. When it place in “ON”, the paper
width will be 58mm. In other words, if it needs the paper width at 80mm then
please set to “OFF”. The application of 58 mm width paper roll in this printer
can be achieved through an optional spacing plate. For the installation, Please
refer to the earlier chapter of “SPECIAL ADJUSTMENTS”.
Switch position 4 is usually set to OFF for ESC/POS command application
that prints at 512 dots / line. Only technical users shall set this switch to ON
and make the printer work in the 576 dots / line format.
