Table 1-1. DIP switch functions

Switch 1

Some computer interfaces automatically send a line-feed code to

the printer at the end of each print line. Other interfaces send only a

carriage return (which returns the print head to its left-most position),

and rely on the printer to perform the automatic line feed. Switch

2-4

enables the FX to match either requirement. With switch

2-4

on, the

printer automatically adds a line feed to every carriage return it

receives from the computer; with the switch off, it expects the com-

puter to provide the line feed. If you are not sure what your system

requires, leave the switch the way you find it, but remember that you

can adjust this if your first printing occurs either all on one line or with

the lines spaces twice as far apart as you requested.

We recommend two changes now. Turning switch 1-2 on adds a

slash to the zero character, which makes program listings easier to

read. If you are not going to create your own characters, turn switch

1-4

on to take advantage of the internal

buffer.

Ribbon installation

First, be sure the printer is turned off and move the print head to the

middle of the platen.

Remove the ribbon cartridge from its packing materials. Holding

the cartridge by the plastic fin on the top, guide the pair of tabs at each
