The DIP switch explanations are described beginning below:
Baud rate Switch #1
Baud rate is the speed of transmitting data, it can be changed by the DIP
switch #1. Choose either a faster 2400bps or normal 600bps speed.
Choose 600bps to avoid errors caused by the expansion of the cable.
Data bit Switch #2
Data bits are the bits used to transfer one character of data; 7 bits or 8
bits are available. Even parity is performed on 7bit data.
Printing mode Switch #3
Dumb printing is simply having al! print formatting controlled by an
external device. All function keys and inputs are disabled except for the
FEED key.
