The printer's power should be off when you set the DIP switches. Settings
made while power is on do not take effect until power is switched off, then
on again, because the printer reads the DIP switches only at power-up.

The printer is delivered with all DIP switch set to the ON position. These
are the standard settings. By changing the settings, you can alter various
printer functions to match your requirements. The following questions will
help you make the right settings.
Switch 1:
Do you want an automatic line feed?
If you leave this switch at the ON position, the printer performs both a
carriage return and line feed each time it receives a carriage-return code.
If you move this switch to the OFF position, a separate line-feed code is
required to obtain a line feed. If you get double line spacing when you expect
single spacing, or if lines overprint each other, try changing the setting of
this switch.
Switch 2:
Do you want the printer to stop printing about an inch from
the end of the paper, or to keep printing to the bottom?
Leave this switch ON except when you need to print very close to the end
of the paper. When this switch is OFF the printer ignores the paper-out
detector and prints down to (and beyond) the bottom edge.
Switch 3:
Do you want the device number of the printer to be 4 or 5?
Peripheral devices connected to the Commodore computer are identified
by device numbers. If you leave this switch ON, the printer's device number
is 4. If you set this switch to the OFF position, the printer's device number
is 5.
