Chapter 1: DIP Switch Settings

The printer’s DIP switches let you change communications parameters, input

buffer size, and emulation. This chapter explains the settings you can make and

tells you how to actually change DIP switch settings.

Accessing the DIP switches

The DIP switches are located inside the printer, underneath the document table.

Use the following procedure to remove the document table so you can operate

the DIP switches.

❏

Make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged from its wall outlet.

❏

Remove the printer cover.

❏

While using a screwdriver or other similar instrument to press down at the

location marked (a) in the illustration below, carefully slide the document

table in the direction indicated by the arrow until it is out of the way.

It is not necessary to remove the document table completely, just move it

enough so you can get at the DIP switches inside.

Note:

If the document table seems to be getting caught on the rollers, it means that

you are not pressing down at point (a) enough. Pressing at point (a) should

separate the rollers to the document table can slide freely.

❏

After the document table is opened sufﬁciently, use a thin ﬂat-blade

screwdriver or some other similar object to change DIP switch settings.

Note:

See the following section for details on available DIP switch settings.

❏

After making the settings you want, slide the document table back into

place while pressing down at point (a). Make sure that the document table

is correctly seated in place before releasing point (a).

❏

Replace the printer cover.

The following table shows all the possible settings for the DIP switch. The

factory default settings are ON for switches 1 through 7 and OFF for switches

8 through 10.

Available DIP switch settings (Parallel Interface)

The following table shows all the possible settings for the DIP switch. The

factory default settings are ON for switches 1 through 7 and OFF for switch 8.

A reset can be performed with pin 31 on the interface by setting DIP switch 1 to

ON (the factory default setting).

In addition, when a reset can be performed with pin 31, setting DIP switch 2 to

OFF sets up the unit to perform a reset when pin 31 and pin 36 are “LOW”.

*1: Never set switch 7 to OFF at the same time that switch 8 is set to ON.

Chapter 2: Memory Switch Settings

Each memory switch is a 16-bit word store in EEPROM. For details on the

functions and settings of memory switches, refer to “Chapter 6”.

The table below shows the factory settings for the memory switches.

Warning!

Changing the memory switch settings can cause the printer to fail to operate

correctly.

Chapter 3: Control Panel Operations

The control panel gives you some push-button control over the slip printer

operation. It also includes indicator lights, which tell you the current status of

the printer at a glance.

Indicator lights

The following table describes the meaning of indicator lights when it is on, off,

or flashing.

Buttons

The following table describes the function of the three control buttons of the

control panel.

Producing a test print

The following procedure can be used at any time to test the printer.

❏

Turn on the printer and insert a piece of paper (page 6, 11).

❏

Turn off printer power.

❏

While holding down

, turn printer back on. Keep

RELEASE

depressed for a few moments until the printer beeps and the printer test

print starts.

The printer test will continue until it reaches the end of the paper.

Adjusting the dot alignment

You may never have to use the procedure described in this section, but after you

have been using your printer for some time you may find that the dots of some

graphics do not align correctly. For example, what should look like:

may come out looking like one of the following:

Button Description

FORWARD

Feeds the slip paper forward, toward the back of the printer. One press

feeds one line, holding down performs continuous feed.

REVERSE

Feeds the slip paper back, toward the front of the printer. One press

feeds one line, holding down performs continuous feed.

RELEASE

Activates the printer's paper release (the paper is not held in place by

the paper feed roller).

Clears recoverable errors.
