Switch 1-1--In the down position, this switch allows
buffer of

to print a document at the same time you continue to use your
want
computer for other tasks.
WARNING: If you turn OFF the LQ-1500, any information in the
buffer is lost.
Switch 1-2--Switch 1-2 enables a detector in the LQ-1500 that warns
you when the printer is out of paper. This is very important when you
are using continuous paper. The printer stops, issues an audible warn-
ing, and waits for you to load more paper before proceeding-and no
data is lost.
However, if you are using single sheets, the paper-out detector stops
the printer when it nears the bottom of the sheet (even if you want to
print all the way to the bottom or if you have another sheet ready to
feed). In this case, it is best to disable the paper-out detector by turning
switch to the Up position. With the printer's paper-out detector
1-2
disabled, the application software in your computer must determine
when it has come to the end of a page. Check with your software
dealer if you have difficulty.
Switch 1-3--Switch 1-3 controls whether or not the LQ-1500 does an
automatic line feed each time it receives a carriage return. Some com-
puters do not send line feeds to the printer which means that this
switch must be up.
Switch 2
Switch 2 determines which print characteristics will be in use when
the LQ-1500 is turned on. Each of these functions can be changed at
