5.3.1 SOFTWARE DIP SWITCHES AND NON-VOLATILE COMMANDS
The following commands are different from the other printer commands in that they are stored in
non-volatile memory and configure the machine upon power-up. Once sent to the printer, they do
not need to be sent again.

The printer will only configure to the following commands after a the machine has been powered off
and then turned back on. The printer will not accept these commands until this is done.

^A

^D

COMMAND

21

Change SW1: Software dip switch #1. The dip switches are the only commands
that do not use the ^A parameters. Instead, they use a ^AB sequence followed by an
8 digit 0 or 1 code.

For example: ^AB10100001^D215 will configure serial port #1 for text equivalent
enquiry response, accept control codes, disable echo, and enable XON/XOFF flow
control.
