change the switch setting when necessary. The switch position
counting starts from the nearest edge of printer. The ON direction
points to the connector area of the printer. The OFF direction
points to the power switch. The functions of each position may

applies to the latest version to the date of print of this manual.
This 8 position DIP switch works as following:
Switch
position
ON OFF
1/2/3/4 Set to ON, ON, OFF, OFF
5 Busy on “buffer full” Busy on “off line”
6 Immediate cut Protective cut
7 CR code effective CR code ineffective
8 Factory internal setting Application standard mode
Effect of Switch positions 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 should be fixed to
1 & 2 ON and 3 & 4 OFF for proper connection with wireless unit.

occurs. Therefore, signals including the paper near end detect will
generate busy signal to the host. Consequently, the printing may
be stopped even when there is still a long way to go before the
paper roll is actually exhausted. Taking the paper out beep into
consideration, the printer will keep on beeping at Paper End
(completely no paper) till paper is replaced when S1-5 is ON. Yet
when S1-5 is OFF, the printer will keep on beeping every 3
seconds at Paper Near End (still long paper in replace) till paper is
replaced.
For switch position 6, when it is set to OFF, there will be a
20 mm paper feed before cutting when software does not define

prevent paper jam. Before setting this switch to ON, please make
