Setting The Dip Switches - Epson DM-D500 Technical Reference Manual

Setting the DIP Switches

DM-D500 is provided with two DIP switches. DIP switch settings are loaded the next time the DM-D500 is
turned on.
In a stand-alone connection, set the same settings for communication (data length, parity, baud rate) for DM-
D500 as for the computer.
In a path-through connection, set the same settings for communication (data length, parity, baud rate) for all,
including the computer and printer.
In a Y connection, the settings for communication must be the same for the computer and customer display. In
addition, set DIP switch 2-1 to ON.
In an USB controlled (serial), set the transfer speed to 19200 bps.
Functions that can be set with the DIP switches are as follows.
