How to Put a Star SP700 Printer into Epson Mode for use with QSR Automation

Setting Up the Printer

1. Turn off the power to the printer and unplug it.

2. Flip it upside down.

3. Unscrew the panel on the bottom. (This will require a Phillips head screwdriver.) 

Note:  The dip switch panel is smaller than it might appear in these photos. It's also important to orient your printer as illustrated above (the front of the printer to your right and the rear with the power/Ethernet ports to the left).

4. Your printer dip switches will initially be set for "Star Mode" (pictured above).

5. Push Dip Switch # 4 in the opposite position in line with #2 and #8. (Note: Dip Switch # 2, # 4, and # 8 should all be in the opposite direction of the other switches.)

6. Screw the cover back on.
7. If you unplugged the printer, plug the power cables back in. Do not turn the printer on yet.
8. Connect the Ethernet cable to the back of the printer (insert it into the Ethernet port) and then plug it into one of the available Ethernet ports on your router or switch.
