EPSON LX 800 printer: configuration switches meaning

[Yves Delay]

On an EPSON LX 800 printer, with a #8143 RS232C serial interface, I am
interested in the meaning of the configuration switchs:

- a block of 8 switchs and a block of 4 switchs on the rear of the printer

- a block of 8 switchs on the #8143 RS232C serial interface. I'm particularly
interested in the meaning of these 8 switchs as they set communication speed,
parity,...

Thanks in advance for your help.
