The configuration of the printer is determined by two sets of DIP
switches on the left side of the printer (as you're looking at the
front). The second switch on the second block determines if the
printer is an "IBM" (OFF or down) or a "STAR" (ON or up).

My SG-10 is about 4 or 5 years old. At work there are some older
SG-10s that do not have the same capabilities as the one at home,
so your printer maybe different. The manual is Copyrighted 1984
and refers to the SG-10/15 (the 15 is the wide carriage version).

You might also check your local bbs's for a utility called PSET....ARC
which supports the SG-10 for setting from the keyboard different
settings (Pica, Elite, line spacing, etc).
