Switch 4: Is the page length of your paper 11 inches or 12 inches?
Leave this switch ON if you will be using l1-inch fonns. Move it to the
OFF position if you will be using 12-inch fonns.
Switch 5: Do you want to use the printer in Commodore mode or ASCII
mode?
The ON position selects the Commodore mode, which is for use with software
supporting a Commodore printer. The OFF position selects the ASCII mode,
which is for use with software supporting a non-Commodore printer. The
main difference between the two modes is their character sets (see Appendix
C). Another difference is that 7-pin graphics and reverse printing are available
only in Commodore mode, while backspacing and horizontal tabulation
work only in ASCII mode.
Switches 6 to 8: Do you want an international «;haracter set?
International character sets differ in their assignment of several character
codes. See the character tables in Appendix C. With the DIP switches you
can select one of eight character sets as follows:

position selects the standard Commodore business and graphics character
sets. The OFF position selects the Commodore DIN business and graphics
character sets. See Appendix C for the difference.
