Page 7: Setting The Conditions
SETTING THE CONDITIONS The C82310* interface card has two sets of DIP switches, and five jumpers. These switches and jumpers are used for selecting various interface operations. Card layout The figure below shows the layout of the C82310* card and the locations of the DIP switches and jumpers. Figure 2. -
Page 8: Dip Switch And Jumper Settings
DIP switch and jumper settings Before you install the C82310* interface, you may need to adjust DIP switch 1 and jumper settings. You can change switch 2 settings after you install the interface. When making DIP-switch setting changes, use a pointed device such as a ball-point pen or small screwdriver. - Page 9 DIP switch 1 (interface operations) The table below contains information on switch func- tions, and the factory setting of each switch. Table 1. DIP switch 1 Note When DIP switch l-l is set to ON, the interface card can continue store data in the buffer memory even though the printer is in an OFF LINE or PAUSE state.

Some printers have a switch (or function) that allows you to select between the optional and original interface. If you install the C82310* interface card in this type of printer, set the interface card’s DIP switch 2 to ON and also change the setting in the printer to select the optional interface. - Page 11 The tables below describe the interface conditions that can be selected using jumpers. In all cases, ON means you connect the jumper (cover both terminals), while OFF means you disconnection of the jumper. Table 3.
