ON selectscharacter set #2, which is for computers with an 8-bit interface
(the most common kind). OFF selectscharacter set #1, for computers with
a 7-bit interface.
Switch 1-8: Do you want an automatic line feed?
If you leave this switch at the ON position, a separate line-feed code is re-
quired to obtain a line feed.
If you move this switch to the OFF position, the printer performs both a
carriage return and line feed each time it receivesa carriage-return code.
Most computer systemssend a line feed code, or both a carriage return and
line feed, at the end of each line, so this switch should be left ON.
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 2-1:
Does your software download new characters to the printer?
To download characters this switch must be OFF. The printer then uses
its RAM memory for storing character patterns and providesonly a one-line
print buffer. If you leave this switch ON the printer usesits RAM memory
as an input buffer, allowingthe computer to send data faster than the printer
prints.
Switches 2-2 to 2-4:
Do you want an international character set?
International character sets differ in their assignmentof 14character codes.
See the character tables at the back of this manual. With the DIP switches
