Worth confirming on the actual hardware that this doesn't double-feed against the script's explicit form feed; the product info sheet doesn't document the exact timing interaction. | | 3-8 | **ON** | Automatic tear off: valid (enabled) | Not the factory default.

## Summary
Only two switches need to move off their factory default — everything else
stays OFF:
- **2-4** — ON (forces Parallel interface, skipping interface auto-detect)
- **3-8** — ON (Automatic tear off)
| Switch | 1-1 | 1-2 | 1-3 | 1-4 | 1-5 | 1-6 | 1-7 | 1-8 |

`1` = ON, `0` = OFF, `X` = don't care (2-7/2-8 only matter in serial mode,
which isn't used here).
