SW1-2:Setting this switch to ON will cause character "0" (zero with
slash) to be printed.

detector. When this position is turned ON, the paper end
detection function becomes invalid upon power application and
the printer is allowed to operate even if it is out of paper.
SW1-4: When this switch is turned ON, the input buffer is used to speed
up data processing (FX-80 +/FX-100 + ).
SWl-5;Setting this switch ON will cause the printer mode to be set to
the Emphasized mode upon power application: setting to OFF,
to the Normal mode.
SW1-6,SW1-7. SW1-8: Combined use of these three switches permits
selection of an international character set (table 6-2).
