26 Pentax PocketJet Printer User’s Guide
Setting Default Paper Size
Windows and many DOS-based applications send paper-
size and character-set information to the printer.
The default paper size and character set are important
only for situations like using the DOS “PRINT” and “COPY”
commands and for certain DOS applications that do not
send PCL printer setup information prior to the print job.
1 Make sure the printer is turned off.
2 Set the printer face down so that the battery
compartment is toward you.
3 Using a pointed object, set the DIP switches for
your model printer. Gently move the DIP switch away
from you to turn it ON. Move it toward you to turn it
OFF. To check which model printer you have, see
“Identifying Your Printer Model” on page 18.

NOTES:
You can use different settings (such as a non-
standard paper size or letter-size paper with the
PC-850 character set) for an individual print job by
specifying the character set, paper size, or both in
your printer driver or software application.
For character set tables, see Appendix B.
