DIP Switch Settings
The DIP switches on the rear panel of the printer control communications
parameters, media type configuration, and test and service functions. To
change settings, carefully position the plastic (breakable) switches to ON or
OFF with a small straight-slot screwdriver. The printer is shipped from the
factory in the standard configuration, with the 16 DIP switches set as shown in
the following illustration. When changing switch settings, you must cycle the
printer power from off to on for the changes to take affect.

Connecting the Printer to a Computer
To operate as intended, the 3600 must be interfaced with a computer (desktop
or laptop PC, local area network, AS400 or similar mainframe) with its serial
port configured for the communications protocol appropriate to the computer
interface. It is assumed that the correct interface (point-to-point, non-switched
modem, network, etc.) was achieved originally at installation and should have
a history of correct operation.
Refer to the 3600 User’s Manual or contact an applications analyst for detailed
information about the type of installation you are servicing.
