Setting DIP Switches
To change the DIP switch settings, move the switches to
the desired position and then turn on the printer.
If you select Software Controlled, the parameters in
Packet F will override the communication settings.
Software Controlled uses the last sent Packet F settings
or the defaults. Turning on the printer activates the DIP
switch settings. Make sure the DIP switch settings
match the printer’s setup for ribbon or supply type.
