Series 50 Printer Main Board Function Switch Settings
IBM Emulation
CHECK AND SET SWITCHES
The factory switch settings apply to most customer applications and normally do not need to be reset; however, the switch settings should be checked and set at this time, if necessary.
CONTROL BOARD
All 50PLUS printers contain one large circuit board called the control board. Located on that board is one DIP switch pack containing 8 switches (called DIP SW on the circuit board).

SWITCH 1
Switch 1 selects either ASCII or the French Canadian character set. When set to OFF the unit prints US ASCII characters and the numeric 0 without a slash through it. When set ON the unit will print the French Canadian character set.
SWITCH 2
Switch 2 is factory set to the off position and should not be changed.
SWITCH 3
Switch 3 controls the automatic line feed. It is set in the OFF position because most configurations of personal computers automatically send a line feed to the printer after the carriage return at the end of each line. If your configuration doesn't send a line feed at the end of each line, switch 3 can be set to the ON position to provide the line feed automatically. If your PC configuration does provide an automatic line feed, switch 3 can be used to provide automatic double spacing.
SWITCH 4 AND 5
Switch 4 and 5 work together to select the length of paper in the printer. The following shows the switch settings and length of paper for each setting.

SWITCH 6
Switch 6 disables the 10 CPI print mode. With switch 6 in the ON position the printer will ignore the 10 CPI command (DC2) and will remain at the default setting of 17.1 CPI. Setting switch 6 to the OFF position enables the 10 CPI command. The factory setting is OFF.
SWITCH 7
Switch 7 selects the character set. This switch is factory set in the OFF position and establishes Character Set 1 as the default character set. In the ON position, Character set II, the IBM Graphics printer compatible character set is established as the default character set.
SWITCH 8
Switch 8 is set by the factory: do not change it.
