4. Using the EDS Mode
EDS stand for Electronic DIP Switches. Just like the small DIP switches
that are used by computers, printers, and other devices, the EDS lets you
configure the printer for your application.
This chapter describes how to enter the printer’s EDS Mode and provides
details about available settings and how to change them.
About EDS Mode settings
The EDS Mode of this printer actually consists of five sub-modes, named
EDS-1 to EDS-5. EDS settings are grouped among four “banks”
(representing banks of switches) that are identified by the letters A
through D. Each bank contains a number of “switches” numbered 1
through 7 that you can turn on and off to configure the printer.
Entering the EDS Mode
1. Make sure that paper is loaded in the printer.
2. Turn off the printer.
3. To enter the EDS Mode, turn the printer on while holding down the
control panel’s LINE FEED, and ON LINE buttons.
This causes the following message to be printed, which indicates the
printer is in the EDS Mode.
