Interface selection and communications parameters
DIP switches 2-3, 2-4, 2-5, and 2-6 select communications parameters
that you need to set if you are using the serial interface on the
printer.
DIP switches 2-3 and 2-4 select the type of interface you are using
and the parity setting for the serial interface. DIP switches 2-5 and
2-6 select the baud rate at which the serial port will transmit and
receive data.
Tear-off mode
When DIP switch 2-7 is on, the short tear-off mode is on. This
feature automatically advances continuous paper to the tear-off
position so you can tear off the page. Then it reverse-feeds the paper
to the loading position before printing the next document. See the
section on using short tear-off later in this chapter.
CAUTION:
Auto line feed
When auto line feed is on (DIP switch 2-8 on), each carriage return
code (CR) is automatically followed by a line feed code (LF).
Do not use the short tear-off mode with labels.
