The external dip switch settings on the Xetec Super Graphix Jr. are as
follows:

Pin 1:    down - NLQ off
          up   - NLQ on

Pin 2:    down - Auto line feed   
          up   - no auto line feed

Pin 3-4:  down down - 1525 Emulation
          up   down - Super Graphix jr
          down up   - ASCII conversion 
          up   up   - Transparent

Pin 5-7:  down down down - Epson, Panasonic, Riteman
          up   down down - Gemini 10X, Delta, SG-10
          down up   down - Okidata
          up   up   down - Prowriter, Siekosha, NEC-8023
          down down up   - GX-100, Banana, MPS-801
          up   down up   - Legend, Blue Chip (M120/10)
          down up   up   - 132 column Epson or Panasonic
          up   up   up   - Daisy Wheel (graphics disabled)

Pin 8:    down - device number 4
          up   - device number 5

If you have a good printer, just set the Super Graphix Jr. to transparent 
and the printer type (pins 5-7) and let the printer take care of everything.
If your printer doesn't have NLQ (near letter quality) then set the mode
(pins 3-4) to Super Graphix Jr. and the NLQ pin 1 to on and the printer will
print in fairly nice type depending on the printer you have.

I have used mine on a Copal SC-100 with excellent results.  I also used it
on a Gemini 10X.  The Gemini didn't have quite as good NLQ as the Copal, but it
was better than draft Gemini print.  I now have a Citizen 200GX with color
option added, (gosh I have an expensive hobby!).  The Citizen has its own
NLQ fonts built in so I don't use the Super Graphix Jr. NLQ mode.

Hope this helps.  Any questions, just ask.

Mark.
