>From my uL82a manual:

(The following refers to the vertical dip switch just to the right of
 the "Line Feed" button on the front panel - you have to remove the
 cover to get at this switch.)

The switch is arranged as:

	(TOP)
  <-- ON   OFF -->
8
7
6
5
4
3
2
1
       (BOTTOM)

    Switch (X=ON)
1   2   3   4
 		US ASCII (factory preset) (all off)
    X           British
X   X           German
	X       French
X       X       Swedish
    X   X       Danish
	    X   Dutch
X   X   X       Norwegian
X           X   Italian
    X       X   Radio Shack TRS-80


Switch		ON			OFF

  5		7-bit data		8-bit data

  6		Line feed when		No line feed when
		CR received		CR received

  7		Print little box	Ignore DEL
		when DEL is received

  8		Low speed serial	Parallel or optional 488 or high

Hope this helps.
