Dip Switches; Dot Graphics - Epson LQ-2500 User Manual

Default
Values or settings that take effect when the equipment is turned on,
reset, or initialized. For example, 10 pitch is usually the default width,
which means that the printer prints in 10 pitch unless it is told to use
another width. On the LQ-2500, the SelecType Default Settings are
used to set the default values.
Default bin
When using a double-bin automatic sheet feeder, this is the bin that is
automatically chosen when printing begins. As indicated on Table
2-1, this setting is available only when the automatic sheet feeder
setting is selected with SelecType.
Default macro
The default macro is the macro you select to be in effect when you
turn the power on. The default macro is set with SelecType according
to Table 2-2.
