Epson 4100 manual Epson Character Options

Operator's Guide 77

Each emulation has a default character set. The factory default character sets for the 4100 printer are English-language U.S.A. The factory default U.S. Epson, IBM, and DEC character sets are illustrated on Pages 39 through 43. If desired, you may map over the U.S. English characters with French, Swedish, U.K. English, Multilingual characters, and so on, depending on the emulation.

Note: The factory default emulation is Epson FX-100, therefore, the character set in effect when you turn on the printer for the first time is the U.S. Epson Character Set. If you then switch, for example, to the IBM Proprinter XL emulation as your default emulation, then the U.S. IBM #1 Character Set is in effect when the printer is turned on.

Besides the character options available within an emulation, you can also overlay parts of the active language-biased character set with optical character recognition (OCR) characters. You can even overlay particular character set characters with your own characters downloaded from the computer using universal control commands.

To check out the active character and control code assignments, use the "Print Active Character Set" menu selection (Page 36).
