Switch 1-1-Selects pica or condensed printing. On is condensed; off is pica. Regardless of the setting, you can still select condensed with SelecType and either condensed or pica with ESCape codes.

Switch 1-2-Controls the printing of zeroes. When it is on, the zeroes are slashed (0); when it is off, they are not.

Switch 1-3-Controls the paper-out sensor. When it is on, the printer will ignore the lack of paper, causing printing to continue even when the printer is out of paper. When it is off, the printer stops and sounds the beeper when the end of the paper passes the paper-out sensor. The PE (Paper End) signal will go out of pin 12 on the host connector regardless of the setting of switch 1-3.See ESC 8 in Appendix G or J.

Switch 1-4-Selects the printer mode. When it is on, the printer uses the control codes and character sets of the Epson mode; when the switch is off, the printer uses the control codes and character sets of the IBM Proprinter mode. Chapter 5 explains the differences between the two modes. Appendixes H and K show the Epson and IBM Pro- printer character sets, respectively. Appendixes G and J explain the Epson and IBM Proprinter commands, respectively.

Switch 1-5-Selects emphasized or standard printing. When it is on, printing is emphasized; when it is off, printing is standard. Regardless of the setting, you can select emphasized with SelecType and either emphasized or standard with ESCape codes.

Switches 1-6,7-7,and I-B-Select an international character set. See Table A-2 for the settings, and see Chapter 5 for information on the use of the international sets.
