DIP Switch Settings

The SEIKOSHA SL-532 printers use the following Dip Switch settings. Please refer to the printer manual for details of how to set these printers up.

Note: The printer must be turned off before you can change any of the switches. Three Dip Switch Banks are provided on the back of the operation panel.

If you have been printing, allow the Print head to cool down before touching it. When setting the switches (below), open the front cover. The DIP switches are only read after the initialisation process either by turning the printer on or by receiving the INITIAL signal via the Parallel Interface.
