This printer has two printer control modes: BJ-10 mode, which emulates
the IBM Proprinter X24E, and Epson LQ mode, which emulates the
Epson LQ-510. The default setting is BJ-10 mode. If you change this to
Epson LQ mode, the default settings also change.

DIP Switch Settings

The DIP switch settings control various printer functions, such as the
page length and character set you want to use. The DIP switches are
located on the operator panel under a small cover.

A DIP switch is OFF when it is up, and ON when it is down. The
factory default setting for each DIP switch is OFF.

The printer functions defined by the DIP switches are determined by the
printer control mode. DIP switch 12 selects the printer control mode.
When DIP switch 12 is OFF, the printer is in BJ-10 mode; when DIP
switch 12 is ON, the printer is in Epson LQ mode.

Changing a DIP Switch Setting

To change a DIP switch setting, follow these steps:

1. Make sure the printer is turned off.
2. Open the DIP switch cover on the top of the printer. Pull the

cover toward you lifting from the notch at the top of the cover.
You may need to use a thin object, such as a coin, to release the
cover.
