These switches are set at the factory, and most of them you will
never need to touch. You may, however, want to take the time now to
match up the switches with their functions, as shown in Table 1-1. For
a further discussion of the DIP switches, see Appendix E.
Figure 1-9. DIP switch location

Always turn the power off (with the switch on the left side of the
printer) before touching any internal switch. The printer checks most
switch settings only at power-up. If you make changes when the
power is on, they may be ignored until you turn the printer off, then
back on. So set all switches with the power off. Use a non-metallic
object, such as the back of a pen, to change the DIP switches.
One switch deserves your immediate attention; it is the switch
labelled 4 on switch assembly 2. This switch (let’s call it 2-4) adjusts the
automatic line feed (the movement of the paper up one line) at the end
of each print line to match your computer system’s needs.
