You can select the character tables with DIP switches 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, and 1-4, according to “Character tables” on page 3-9.
To select a graphics character table, you must first turn DIP switch 1-4 on.
Note:
If you send the ESC t 1 command (to select graphics) while DIP
switch 1-4 is off, the graphics character table is always PC 437
(United States).
All character tables are included in the Appendix.
Print direction
Printing is normally bidirectional. However, turning DIP switch 1-5 on for unidirectional printing-in which the print head prints in one direction only—allows for precise vertical printing alignment. This makes it ideal for printing graphics such as lines or boxes.
If DIP switch 1-5 is on, printing is unidirectional even if you select bidirectional with the ESC U 0 software command.
Printer mode
This feature is available only on the European version of this printer.
When DIP switch 1-6 is off, the printer operates in ESC/P2 mode. By setting the DIP switch to on, the printer operates in IBM emulation mode. In this mode, the printer emulates an IBM Proprinter X 24E. All the commands available on this IBM printer are available in this mode, except one: Define User-Defined Characters (ESC =).
