In addition to the eight character sets you can select with DIP switches, you can select the five character sets shown below using the ESC R software command. See the Command Summary in Chapter 8 for more information.

Page length
When DIP switch 2-1 is on, the page length is set to 12 inches. When the DIP switch is off, the page length is 11 inches. Page lengths other than 11 or 12 inches can be set with the ESC C and ESC CO commands. See the Command Summary in Chapter 8.
Printing speed in draft mode
When DIP switch 2-2 is off, high-speed draft is selected. When the DIP switch is on, normal draft is selected. This setting only affects the printer if DIP switch 1-5 is set for draft mode (see page 3-15) or if draft is selected through your software. If NLQ is selected, the printer ignores the printing speed selected for draft mode, since a slower printing speed is required to print the higher-resolution characters.
High-speed draft prints at 533 characters per second but produces characters that are not as fully formed as the ones produced with normal draft. If you select a feature such as emphasized, double-strike, or italics in high-speed draft mode, the printing speed will temporarily switch to normal draft speed until the enhancement is turned off. This allows you to use any print enhancement without cancelling high-speed draft.
