Using DIP Switches
The DFX-5000 has two sets of DIP switches. DIP switches control a
variety of printer functions such as page length and printing
speed. DIP switch settings are shown in the DIP switch tables
starting on page 3-10 and in the Quick Reference card at the back
of this manual. Descriptions of all the DIP switch functions are
provided in the section on DIP switch functions on page 3-12.
Because the factory (default) settings are designed to
accommodate the needs of most users, you shouldn’t need to
change DIP switch settings very often. If you do need to set a DIP
switch, use the following steps-
being sure to turn off the printer
before you start and turn it on again when you are done.
Changing DIP switch settings
To change a DIP switch setting, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Open the printer’s front cover.
3. The DIP switches are located in a small compartment on the
front paper guide, behind the front tractor paper. If there is
paper loaded on the front tractor, either remove it or lift it up
out of the way so you can reach the DIP switches.
