APPENDIX C. EPSON LQ AND FX EMULATION MODES

FORM TOP: Use this to specify the distance from the top of the sheet to the base - line of the first printable line. The factory setting is 0.5 inch [12.7 mm].

Available Options: 0.5 to 1.5 inches [12.7 to 38.1 mm] in increments of 0.05 inch [0.127 mm].

TEXT: Use this to set the page length. The unit of measurement for this setting is 1/6 inch [4.2 mm]. The factory setting is 66 (6 lines per inch, 2.4 lines per cm).

If you change the ORIENT, PAGE SIZE, or FORM TOP settings, the form length set - ting automatically returns to the default setting for the paper size.

SKIPBOTTOM: If you switch this feature ON, the printer inserts the number of line spaces specified by the ESC N (skip-over-perforation) command between the last line printed on the page and the first printable line on the next page. The total num - ber of lines skipped equals the FORM TOP setting plus the amount of skip-over-per - foration set with ESC N. Since most application programs insert their own top and bottom margins, use this feature only if your program does not provide them.

CGTABLE: Use the character generator table option to select the graphics charac - ter table, the italics table, or the download table. The graphics table (PcUSA) con - tains graphics characters for printing lines, corners, and shaded areas; international characters; Greek characters; and mathematical symbols. Selecting the italics table defines the upper half of the character table as italic characters. The download table (DLoad) is not available when you are in FX emulation mode.

Available Options: PcUSA, PcMulti, PcPort, PcCanF, PcNord, DLoad, ITALIC

COUNTRY: Use this to select one of the 13 international symbol sets. See page C-6 for samples of the characters and symbols in each set.

Available Options: USA, France, Germany, UK, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, Spain1, Japan, Norway, Denmk2, Spain2, LatinA

J-REPRINT:Use this to reprint after a paper jam. When it is set to ON and a page jams in the printer, the page is reprinted after you clear the jam. If it is set to OFF, jammed pages are not reprinted automatically, but complex pages may print faster.

AUTO CR: Use this automatic carriage return feature to perform a carriage-return line-feed (CR-LF) whenever the print position exceeds the right margin. If AUTO CR is OFF, the printer does not print characters beyond the right margin and it does not perform a linewrap until it receives a CR. Most application programs take care of this function, so there is normally no need to change this setting.

ZERO CHAR: This option determines whether the printer prints a zero with a diago - nal slash or a normal unslashed zero. This feature is useful when distinguishing be - tween an upper case letter O and a zero when printing programming lists.
