Setting up the DS-210 Printer
There are two different ways to set up the DS-210 printer. The first way of
setup is implemented through the hardware DIP switch installed in the DS-210
printer for setting up functions such as baud rate, paper width and others. It is
NOT suggested that the end users implement the setup through the hardware
DIP switch; it is preferable that the hardware setup is implemented by
professional technicians. The second one is implemented through a software
utility to adjust the switch, such as printer density and other functions. These
switch settings are described below.
DIP Switch Position Behavior
Switch position ON OFF
1~2 Baud rate definition (Refer to the table below)
3~4 Paper Width & Printable Width (Refer to the table below)
5 Print speed (200 mm / sec) Print speed (170 mm / sec)
6 USB interface (Default) Other interface
7 Auto Cutter Disable Auto Cutter enable
8 (Reserved)
Effect of positions 1 & 2 on baud rate, defined in table below:
SW1 Pos. 1 OFF OFF ON ON
SW1 Pos. 2 OFF ON OFF ON
Baud rate setup 19200 bps 115200 bps 9600 bps 38400 bps
Please note that when the switch positions are used in USB mode and
preferably virtual serial port, please place the SW1-1 & 2 to ON position in
order to use the virtual COM port.
Effect of positions 3 and 4 on Paper & Printable Width, defined as below:
SW1 Pos. 3 OFF ON OFF
SW1 Pos. 4 OFF OFF ON
Paper & Printable Width 80 mm /512 dot 80 mm / 576 dot 58 mm / 424 dot
Toggle SW1 Pos. 5 to “ON” for the print speed of 200 mm/sec or to “OFF” for
the print speed of 170 mm/sec.

Toggle SW1 Pos. 6 to “ON’ for USB interface or to “OFF” for the other
interface (Serial, Parallel, LAN, Wi-Fi or the like).
Switch position 7 defines the auto cutter. When it is essential to enable the
paper auto cut function, toggle the switch position to “OFF”. On the other hand,
the auto cutter function will be disabled when it is toggled to “ON”.
Switch position 8 defines the firmware update function. If the printer needs to
update the firmware, please set to “ON” position. In order to operate perfectly,
please set in “OFF” when the printer does not need to update the firmware or
in normal situation.
Each factory default setting of the positions of switch 1 is listed below.
Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Default setting ON ON OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF OFF
Setup through software switch:
The DS-210 end users are allowed to set up the DS-210 printer through the
software switch setting, which means that software utility must be used for
setup of other functions. Please visit our web site
http://www.posiflex.com/up/Download/downlaod to download the DS-210
Thermal Printer Software Switch Utility for Windows. Software switches
are divided into SW1, SW2, SW3, and SW4. After downloading the utility,
refer to the Help file in the utility folder for the details before operating the
software switch setup.
Please reboot the printer after the switch settings are done.
