Setting up the DS-210 Printer
There are two different ways to set up the DS-210 printer. The first way of
setup is implemented through the hardware DIP switch installed in th e DS-210
printer for setting up functions such as baud rate, paper width and others. It is
NOT suggested that the end users implement the setup through the hardware
DIP switch; it is preferable that the hardware setup is implemented by
professional technicians. The second one is implemented through a software
utility to adjust the switch, such as printer density and other functions. These
switch settings are described below.

order to use the virtual COM port.

Toggle SW1 Pos. 5 to “ON” for the print speed of 200 mm/sec or to “OFF” for
the print speed of 170 mm/sec.
Toggle SW1 Pos. 6 to “ON’ for USB interface or to “OFF” for the other
interface (Serial, Parallel, LAN, Wi-Fi or the like).
Switch position 7 defines the auto cutter. When it is essential to enable the
paper auto cut function, toggle the switch position to “OFF”. On the other hand,
the auto cutter function will be disabled when it is toggled to “ON”.
Switch position 8 defines the firmware update function. If the printer needs to
update the firmware, please set to “ON” position. In order to operate perfectly,
please set in “OFF” when the printer does not need to update the firmware or
in normal situation.
Each factory default setting of the positions of switch 1 is listed below.
Position

ON ON OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF
Setup through software switch:
The DS-210 end users are allowed to set up the DS-210 printer through the
software switch setting, which means that software utility must be used for
setup of other functions. Please visit our web site
http://www.posiflex.com/up/Download/downlaod
to download the DS-210
Thermal Printer Software Switch Utility for Windows. Software switches
are divided into SW1, SW2, SW3, and SW4. After downloading the utility,
refer to the Help file in the utility folder for the details before operating the
software switch setup.
Please reboot the printer after the switch settings are done.
