Auto line feed
When auto line feed is on (DIP switch 2-4 on), the printer
accompanies each carriage-return code (CR) received with a
line-feed code (LF).
If your printer is double spacing, turn DIP switch 2-4 off. If
each line overprints the next, turn DIP switch 2-4 on.

Micro-Feed

The micro-feed feature allows you to move the paper forward
or backward in 1/180-inch increments. You can use this
feature to adjust the loading and tear-off positions.

the loading position to as high as 5.3 mm from the top edge of
the paper. You can then print more lines per page.
When you make adjustments to the loading or tear-off
positions with continuous paper, the printer remembers the
new position, even if you turn off the printer.
When you adjust the loading position of single-sheet paper, the
printer remembers the new position until you turn off the
power. The loading position returns to the factory setting
