Selecting the Print Density (DIP Switches 2-3/2-4) • If the print density is set to “Medium” or “Dark” level, print speed may be reduced. • The print density can be set with DIP switches (2-3/2-4) or the software settings. (See "Software Settings" on page 59 .) With DIP switch 2-1, you can select conditions for invoking a BUSY state as either of the following: • When the receive buffer is full • When the receive buffer is full or the printer is offline In either case above, the printer enters the BUSY state after power is turned on (including resetting with the interface) and when a self-test is being run.
