To configure the printer serial port
1 Use the following DIP switch setting descriptions and table to locate the
DIP switches you need to change to configure the serial port.
2 Use a small straight-slot screwdriver to set the appropriate DIP switches.
For example, if you want to change the media type to thermal transfer,
set DIP switch 8 on the bottom bank of switches to the on position.
3 Turn the printer power off and then on for the configuration changes to
take effect.
Note: Ignore Multi-Drop switches if you are not using a Multi-Drop
network.
