illustration in “Level 1 Diagnostics” in chapter 4. 
The switches are used to put the printer into various modes for printer configuration set 
up.  
 
 
 
Use a paper clip or other pointed object to set the switches.

Caution:  Do not set switch 1 to On. Setting switch 1 to On puts the printer in level 1
