Epson 4100 manual Using the Configuration Menu to Select Character Maps

Operator's Guide 271

Character maps for DEC LA210 may be selected using the configuration menu or with control commands. Differences between these methods are described below.

Using the Configuration Menu to Select Character Maps

Using the configuration menu, you can select character maps G0, G1, G2 and G3 for the 7-bit or 8-bit DEC character set. Different character maps may be selected.

Character map G0 can be mapped only into the lower data bytes. Character maps G1 through G3 can be mapped into either or both the lower and upper data bytes.

The character maps selected for G0 and G2 become active when you turn on the printer. The character maps selected for G1 and G3 may be invoked using the commands shown in this section.

Using Control Commands to Select Character Maps

Using the control commands shown on the following pages, you can assign any character map to G0 through G3. The assignments are active when mapped into the lower or upper data bytes using the mapping commands shown in this section.

Character map G0 can be mapped only into the lower data bytes. G1, G2, and G3 may be mapped into either or both the lower and upper data bytes. Before you can access map G1 through G3 in the upper data bytes, the "8 Bit DEC" option must be selected from the configuration menu; otherwise, the command is stored in memory until the upper data bytes have been enabled.
