DMP 205  (260-2904)          DIP Switch Settings       Faxback Doc. # 5734

The print-function (DIP) switches underneath the front edge of the printer
cover control various features of your printer.  At the factory, all
switches are set to off.

To determine whether you need to change the function switch settings,
refer to the following table and the descriptions that follow.  To change
a function switch setting, see "Changing Function Switch Settings."

SWITCH                    ON                           OFF
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
1                CR=CR+LF                         AUTOFEED (Factory)
2                LF=LF                            LF=LF+CR (Factory)
3                1" SKIP                          INVALID (Factory)
4                RAM BUFFER                       RAM DOWNLOAD (Factory)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SWITCH 1:  This determines whether the printer does or does not feed the
paper one line after each carriage return.  when you set Switch 1 to OFF,
a line feed is added to each carriage return if the computer sets the
AUTOFEED signal line to low; line feed is not added to carriage return
if the AUTOFEED signal is high.  When this switch is set to ON, a line
feed is always added to the carriage return.

If your software does not control this function, and if the printer prints
on top of previous lines, set Switch 1 to ON.

SWITCH 2:  This determines whether the printer does or does not
automatically make a carriage return after each line feed.

This switch is factory set to OFF, so the printer automatically adds
a carriage return after each line feed.

SWITCH 3:  This function setting, when on, automatically advances the
paper to the next top of form, leaving a one-inch unprinted area at the
end of the previous page.  If the owner's manual for your software
specifies 1" SKIP, set Switch 3 to ON.

SWITCH 4:  A few word-processing software packages let you download
fonts from the software.  If you are using this types of software, set
Switch 4 to ON.

CHANGING FUNCTION SWITCH SETTINGS

NOTE:  Turn off the printer before you change any of the switches.  (Or, if
you prefer, set the switches while the printer is on.  Then turn the printer
off and then on again.  This cycling of the power CAUSES the printer to
recognize the new function switch settings.)

To change the function switch settings, do the following.

1.  Set POWER to OFF.
2.  Open the printer cover.
3.  Use the tip of a ball-point pen or similar object to move the switch.
