4.0 Confi guring the SP2200
The SP2200 is confi gured using three banks of DIP switches, labeled S1, S2, and S3, on the back of the unit.
Each bank contains 8 switches, numbered 1 through 8. Switches are referred to by bank and switch number;
for example,
DIP switch 3-7
refers to switch number 7 in bank 3 (S3).

With the exception of switch 3-8,
DIP switch values are read only when the printer is powered on
. If you
change any of the switches while the printer is powered on, you must turn the printer off and on again for the
change to take effect. Switch 3-8 is used to enable and disable the switch module and is read continuously.

Figure 4-2. DIP switches used to set printer mode
4.1.1 Weight Extraction/Standard Input Mode
Switch 1-8
selects whether the printer operates in weight extraction mode (0) or standard input mode (1). See
Section 1.1 for information about SP2200 operating modes and the data format used for weight extraction
mode.
Note: This may require a parameter change in indicator. Some indicators require EOL (End of Line)
delay change.k
4.1.2 Demand/Continuous
Mode
Switch 3-3
selects whether data sent to the printer is sent in demand (0) or continuous mode (1). This switch
is used only if the printer is confi gured for weight extraction mode (switch 1-8 is off).
The following table shows how the demand and continuous modes for the SP2200 relate to the mode se lec -
tions con fi g ured for several indicators.
