See below for a detailed explanation of the DIP switch settings (Fig 2: illustrates the default DIP switch settings).
To change the DIP switch settings, (make sure the printer is off before making any changes), use a pencil or similar
thin pointed object.

Auto Wake Up
The MCP9810-112 incorporates an auto wake up facility which minimises the printer's power consumption. If auto
wake up is enabled, the printer will turn itself off after approximately five minutes of inactivity on the receive data
line. The printer will then wake up only when activity is detected on the receive line.
To wake the printer up, the user should ignore the status of the CTS line and send a NUL character (00H) to the
printer. The user should then wait at least 0.7 seconds for the printer to initialise before sending further data. Once
the printer has initialised, handshaking should be resumed.
Since the NUL character is non-printable, this procedure may be followed even if the printer is awake and will not
cause unwanted characters to be printed.
To enable the auto wake up facility, place DIP switch 8 in the UP position. If the switch is in the DOWN position the
printer will remain operational until turned off via the power switch.
If auto wake up is enabled, the printer may not turn on when power is applied via the power switch. Sending a NUL
character will cause the printer to power up normally.

The setting of DIP switch 7 selects the type of
paper being used. If the MCP9810-112 is
loaded with label stock, SW7 must be placed in
the Up (OFF) position for correct operation to
take place.
The 'ESC f ' sequence, which advances to the
next label, can only be used if SW7 is Up.
Since dual ply paper is less sensitive than
normal thermal paper, the 'Esc !' sequence
ON
should be used to increase the print density to 4
OFF
when printing on dual ply (see Print Density for
ON
OFF
details).
