Switch position 4 defines the handshaking method in serial 
interface. When it is set to ON, the printer transmits an “XOFF” 
for busy and sends an “XON” for not busy. When it is set to OFF, 
the printer signifies the busy status over hardware signals that can 
be detected by the host as “DSR” or “CTS”. When parallel 
interface is used, both switch positions 3 and 4 should be set to 
OFF. 
For switch position 5, if the switch is set to ON, the busy 
signal is sent to host only when input buffer is full. When it is set 
to OFF, busy signal is sent to host whenever an off line status 
occurs. Therefore, signals including the paper near end detect will 
generate busy signal to the host. Consequently, the printing may 
be stopped even when there is still a long way to go before the 
paper roll is actually exhausted. 
For switch position 6, when it is set to OFF, there will be a 
20 mm paper feed before cutting when software does not define 
this point and there will be further 10 mm paper after cutting to 
prevent paper jam. Before setting this switch to ON, please make 
sure that your software will take care of enough paper feed for the 
paper jam prevention issue. 
For switch position 8, when it is set to ON in the field, the 
printer maybe subject to unpredictable damages and must be 
strictly prevented. 
The factory default for each position is listed below:
