3.4.2 Adjusting the DIP Switches

The printer has two sets of DIP switches. The function of the DIP switches is different for each interface model. If you need to change settings, follow the steps below to make your changes:

CAUTION:
Turn off the power while removing the DIP switch cover to prevent an electric short, which can damage the printer. Use a crosshead screwdriver to remove the screw holding the DIP switch cover.
Look at the numbers and letters in the area indicated in the illustration. If the last letters are US, use the US tables below. If the last letters are STD, use the STD tables. ON

ON OFF

CAUTION:
OFF

Be sure to put back the DIP switch cover before using the printer.

Note: The functions of the switches are shown in the following sections. The DIP switch function of US is little different from the STD.

Note: See the next page for When the letters are US. See Notes for DIP switch 2-1 (page 3-19) about the DIP SW 2-1 setting. When you use serial interface model with 1200bps, 2400bps, or 19200bps, you have to adjust DIP switch Serial interface selection function and Memory switch Serial communication condition.

Note: When the printer has a data receive error, the printer prints ?. Usually DIP switch 1-1 should be turned off. The right side up printing mode is a mode used for a printer that is hanging on a wall. For detail, see What is Right side up printing ? (page 5-10). Regardless of the setting of DIP switch 1-1, if you want to perform right side up printing, DIP switch 1-2 must be fixed to off.
