Re: How to set address on IBM 5224 printer

All of the *EARLY 5250 devices had three switches to set the address.
Valid addresses are 0 through 7.  For every "up" switch, add up the number
to get the real address:

Label 4     2     1     Value
      0     0     0     0
      0     0     1     1
      0     1     0     2
      0     1     1     3
      1     0     0     4
      1     0     1     5
      1     1     0     6
      1     1     1     7

Oh, do I seem old!

Anyone know how to set the address on a IBM 5224 matrix line printer?

On the back of the device I see three white on/off switches.  The first
switch has a 4 above it, the middle switch a 2 above it, and the last
switch
has a 1 above it.

Below these three switches is a blue switch with a 2 on top and a 1 on the
bottom.

I suppose that these switches somehow set the address. How would I set this
device to address 1?
