PRINTER DIP SWITCH CONFIGURATION

DIP Switch Panels
There are three DIP switches (DSW1, DSW2 and DSW3) located underneath an
access panel inside the printer. These switches can be used to set:
RS232C transmit/receive parameters
Thermal transfer or direct thermal mode
Head check mode
Hex dump mode
Receive buffer size
Operation mode
Each switch is an eight section "toggle" switch. The ON position is always to the top
(up). To set the switches, first power the unit Off, then position the DIP switches.
Finally, after placing the switches in the desired positions, power the printer back on.
The switch settings are read by the printer electronics during the power up sequence.
They will not become effective until the power is cycled.
RS232 Transmit/Receive Setting
Data Bit Selection (DSW1-1) - This switch sets the printer to receive either 7 or 8
bit data bits for each byte transmitted.

Parity Selection (DSW1-2, DSW1-3) - These switches select the type of parity
used for error detection.
