124D
There are two drivers on the disk for this printer, one ends with Epson the
other with NEC. The 124D has two emulation modes and you should use the driver
corresponding to the emulation mode you are in. If you, at this stage not
familiar with emulation modes you should use the Epson driver as this is the
default emulation mode of the printer.

Swift 24/Swift 24x
Many people have problems configuring the colour option on this printer.
Fitting the motor and ribbon is usually no problem, the problem usually lies
in setting the printer to recognise the colour kit. The following procedure
explains how to do this.
1. Switch on your printer and ensure it is OFF LINE.
2. Press the MENU button once.
3. Press the JUMP button once.
4. Press the MENU button once.
5. Press the SELECT button once.
6. Press the SAVE button once.
7. Press the JUMP button 5 times.
8. Press the SELECT button twice.
9. Press the SAVE button 3 times.
Installation now complete.
To test that the installation was successful put paper in the printer and
switch on whilst holding down the JUMP key. This will perform a self test and
print different coloured text.
When you switch on the printer you will see MACRO 1 flash on the printer
display. This means that the printer has been set to the setting saved in
MACRO 1. The above steps 1-9 changed MACRO 1 to tell the printer it has a
coloured ribbon installed. The macro feature of the Swift is very powerful and
something that is well worth closer investigation with the aid of the manual.
The Swift 24x is a wide carriage printer, don't forget to make the margin
settings within Preferences to add up to 136, such as Left Margin 5 and Right
Margin 131.
There are two drivers on the disk for this printer, one ends with Epson the
other with NEC. The Swift 24/x has two emulation modes and you should use the
driver corresponding to the emulation mode you are in. If you, at this stage
not familiar with emulation modes you should use the Epson driver as this is
the default emulation mode of the printer.
If you have the colour option installed make sure that COLOUR is selected
