Installation/Support Tips

I
I

Software

The type of printer installed on your system must be identified for each software package. This is usually done through a setup menu. If this printer is not listed in your program, look in the printer User’s Manual for the next-best model selection.

DIP Switch Settings

The default settings will usually work for most applications,
but they should be checked before using the printer This
will avoid unexpected results.

Cut - Sheet Feeder/ Single - Sheet Operation

The page length will have to be adjusted (shortened) to 61 lines per page if your software does not properly support cut -sheet paper. There will be lines from the first page printed at the top of the second page if the page length not set correctly.
