LQ mode
In LQ mode, your printer can select one of eight International Character
Sets, one of ten code pages, and one of two character tables: the EPSON B Italics and the EPSON Graphics character tables.
International character sets
By selecting an International Character Set, you can print characters and symbols of eight different countries or languages: USA, UK, Germany, France, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, and Spain.
When you want to print other languages, select the appropriate code page. The printer supports many code pages: USA 437, Multilingual* (Latin I) 850, Slavic (Latin II) 852, Cyrillic (Russian) 855, Turkish 857, Portuguese 860, Canadian French 863, Arabic 864, Nordic 865, and Greek 869. (☞ 102)
When you select a code page to print characters and symbols of your language, be sure to select the Graphics character table. Otherwise, the characters and symbols between ASCII 128 and ASCII 255 are changed to italic characters.
*Multilingual means that you can print most European languages when you select this code page. However, in LQ mode, if you want to print the languages supported by the printer in the International Character Sets, select the appropriate International Character Set and select USA 437 code page.
