Table 1-1. DIP switch functionsSwitch 1Some computer interfaces automatically send a line-feed code tothe printer at the end of each print line. Other interfaces send only acarriage return (which returns the print head to its left-most position),and rely on the printer to perform the automatic line feed. Switch 2-4enables the FX to match either requirement. With switch 2-4 on, theprinter automatically adds a line feed to every carriage return itreceives from the computer; with the switch off, it expects the com-puter to provide the line feed. If you are not sure what your systemrequires, leave the switch the way you find it, but remember that youcan adjust this if your first printing occurs either all on one line or withthe lines spaces twice as far apart as you requested.We recommend two changes now. Turning switch 1-2 on adds aslash to the zero character, which makes program listings easier toread. If you are not going to create your own characters, turn switch1-4 on to take advantage of the internal 2K buffer.Ribbon installationFirst, be sure the printer is turned off and move the print head to themiddle of the platen.Remove the ribbon cartridge from its packing materials. Holdingthe cartridge by the plastic fin on the top, guide the pair of tabs at each23
