* Switch 1 controls the MSB (Most Significant Bit=8th bit of data).
When this switch is on, the MSB is not transmitted to the printer.
When this switch is off, the MSB is under software control. The
printer must be set to 7 data bits, no line feed to use the settings
in the table.
** If your printer is not listed, then the card should be set to
"transparent" mode (turn all switches to off). This will disable
the special screen dump features, which are only useful under
BASIC anyway.
The screen dump commands are: Control-I G (press control-I, followed
by the letter G) for a hi-res page 1 dump, Control-I G2 for a page
2 dump, Control-I Ge for a double-hi-res dump, Control-I S for
a 40 column text screen dump and Control-I 8S for an 80 column
screen dump.
