Default character set
When DIP switch 1-1 is ON, the user-defined character set will be selected as default.
User-defined characters are maintained in printer memory even when the power is turned off,
so the user-defined character set can be easily selected simply by turning off the power, setting
this switch to ON, and then turning the power on again.

When DIP switch 1-4 is ON, printer operates in the IBM emulation mode; when off, printer
operates in the Epson

switches 1-6, 1-7, and 1-8 are different when using the printer in the IBM
emulation mode.
Short Tear-off
When print operation has finished, the short tear-off feature automatically feeds the perforation
of the continuous paper to the tear-off edge of the sheet guide cover so that the user can tear
off the last sheet. When the user resume printing, the paper is fed backward to the loading
position.
