DIP Switch Settings

The DIP switch settings control various printer functions, such as the page length
and character set you want to use. The printer functions defined by the DIP
switches are determined by the printer control mode. The printer has two control
modes:

§ BJ-10 mode, which emulates the IBM Proprinter X24E
§ Epson LQ mode, which emulates the Epson LQ printers

DIP switch 11 selects the printer control mode. When DIP switch 11 is OFF, the
printer is in BJ mode (this is the default). When DIP switch 11 is ON, the printer
is in Epson LQ mode.

BJ-10 Mode

When the printer is in BJ-10 mode (DIP switch 11 is OFF), you can set the DIP
switches to control the following functions:
