SCSI DIP Switches

The SCSI interface printers of the MD-2xxx and MD-4xxx families have a set of DIP switches to set the SCSI device ID of the daisy chain of SCSI devices connected to a SCSI host controller (usually inside the computer, on-board, or on the additional SCSI card).

Legend

OFF: upper position
ON: lower position

Numbering

Numbers 1–4 represent the DIP switches from left to right.

Switch Settings

The following Table summarizes the settings of the DIP switches needed for each SCSI device number:

**SCSI DIP Switches**
The 4 DIP switches set the SCSI device ID of the ALPS printer.
(*) SCSI device number 7 is reserved for the Macintosh itself.
Device number 0 is normally assigned to the internal hard drive, if here is one. To be safe, use only device numbers 1 through 6.
