Power-up Format Type: Determines whether to use a saved format
file (1) or a ROM format. The printer must have battery backed memory
in order to save format files. The format is selected by switch positions
6, 7, and 8.
1 = Saved Format File
0 = ROM Format File
6,7,8 Power-up Format: These switches are used in conjunction with switch
5 above. They determine which stored format is loaded at power-up.
The printer can be instructed not to load a format at power-up by setting
all three switches to 0. (Please note: The printer will not print unless a
valid format has been loaded. A format may be loaded by using these
switches to automatically load a previously stored format or by simply
sending non-stored format to the printer.)
