when parallel:
DIP 2 = automatic linesheet on/off
DIP 3 and 4 (0=off 1=on):
00=Epson FX #1
01=Epson FX #3
10=Epson FX #2
11=IBM Graphic-Printer
 
as FX #1:
DIP     Funcion         Off             On
 5      ASCII 128-159   8-bit-codes     Line and Block graphic

 7      Quality         Draft           NLQ
 8      Font width      Pica            compressed
 
as FX #2:
DIP 8=side lenghth 11 or 12 inch
DIP 5-7 is used for different character sets of the countries,
only in the US-Version, in the European you use SW2 (which I
didn't need at all)
 
FX3:
like fx1, dip 6 and 7 used for USA/France/Germany/GB
 
IBM:
 5       ASCII 128-159  (IBM Character set 1 or 2)
 6       Space between lines (1/6 or 1/8 inch)
 7      automatic moveback (?) on/off
 8      Print with full memory of/off
 
(I hope I didn't make to many tranlating-errors..)
 
The most useful setup on the PC was as IBM with 1/8 inch space,
and correct umlauts. On the C64 you have to switch between
Commodore and Epson mode often...
