DIP-switch functions

The different features you can control with the printer's DIP
switches are described below.

Printer mode

When DIP switch 1-1 is on, the printer operates in IBM
ProPrinter II emulation mode. When this DIP switch is off, the
printer operates in Epson ESC/P mode. Table E shows the
functions of DIP switches l-4,1-5,1-6,1-7, and l-8 in IBM
mode. Table A shows the functions of those same DIP switches
in ESC/P mode.

Draft printing speed

When DIP switch l-2 is off, high-speed draft mode is selected.
When this switch is on, normal draft mode is selected. This
switch affects the printer only if DIP switch l-3 is set to draft
mode (turned off) or if draft mode is selected in your software.
In high-speed draft mode, you can print up to 560 characters
per second at 10 cpi (characters per inch). In normal draft
mode, you can print up to 420 characters per second at 10 cpi.
Normal draft mode produces characters that are more fully
formed than characters produced in high-speed draft mode.
