1.4.3 DIP Switch Settings

There are five DIP switches that are located at the front paper entrance of the printer. These DIP switches
can set the printer defaults.
When power is applied or the printer is reset, the DIP switch selections are treated as the default setup. If
the setup is changed, the power should be cycled or the printer should be reset.
