These settings are listed and described in the newsgroup FAQs on sites
like Ground (pure text), USA2WUG (formatted text), and II Computing (html).

013- What are the settings for the Apple Super Serial Card?
Here is some information about Super Serial Card (SSC) Settings:
Recomended Slots
Slot 1 for terminal use (e.g. printer)
Slot 2 for communication use (e.g. modem)
Jumper Block- configures serial I/O lines. This does not set the
operating mode of the card. Operating mode is set via the
DIP switches.
For typical "terminal" (printer) use, label is right side up (arrow
points DOWN), DIPs are set for "terminal" operation, and a printer
cable connects to the printer.
This jumper setting can also be used with a modem cable to make a
NULL modem connection to another computer. (DIPs would then be set
for "communication" operation.)
For typical "communication" (modem) use, label is upside down (arrow
points UP), DIPs are set for "communication" mode and a modem cable
connects to the modem. To make a NULL modem connection to another
computer, use a modem cable + NULL modem adaptor.
Note that RS-232-C signals on the SSC use negative-true logic;
that is, they are true at 0v and false at +5 volts.

Note: SW1-1 thru SW1-4 settings can be overridden by software.
SW1 Dip Switch 5-7 Settings
SW1-5 SW1-6 SW1-7
"Communication" (modem) operation on on on
"Terminal" (printer) operation off on on*
Note
Switch SW1-5 and SW1-6 help define the operation mode of the card.
1-5 1-6 Operation Mode
on on Communications
off on Printer
on off Emulate Apple Serial Interface Card with P8 PROM
off off Emulate Apple Serial Interface Card with P8A PROM
Switches SW1-7 and SW2-7 select between the standard and secondary
Clear To Send signals when the jumper block is set for "terminal"
(printer) operation.
1-7 2-7 pin
on off CTS
off on SCTS
If the jumper block is set "Communication" (modem) operation,
SW1-7 should always be ON and
SW2-7 should always be OFF.
*For "Terminal" (printer) operation, the setting may vary.
If using an Imagewriter II
SW1-7 should be ON and
SW2-7 should be OFF.
SW2 Dip Switch Settings
Switches SW2-1 through SW2-4 functions depend upon whether "Terminal"
(printer) or "Communications" (modem) operation is enabled.

Note: SW2-1 thru SW2-4 settings can be overridden by software.
SW2 Dip Switch 5-7 Settings
SW2-5 enables automatic line feed generation.

correct settings for SW2-5 (on= auto-send linefeed after CR) and
SW-6 (on= enable interrupts) may vary.
*** This is the setting recommended in the IW-II manual.
