Installation/Support Tips
Software
The type of printer installed on your system must be identified
for each software package. This is usually done through a setup
menu. lf 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 is not set correctly.
