Note: When DIP Switches 1 and 2 are set to OFF, the printer always

selects the Japan international character set regardless of the status
of DIP Switches 6, 7 and 8.

When DIP Swiches 1 and 2 are otherwise set, the printer selects

the character set determined by DIP Switches 6, 7 and 8.

Each international character set is selectable through software

regardless of the selection by DIP Switches.
