Software

When you select ESC/P, the printer operates in the EPSON ESC/ P mode. When you select IBM 2380 Plus, the printer emulates an IBM printer.

Character table

You can select among 13 standard character tables as well as tables for 21 other countries. See Appendix C for character samples.

International character set for Italic table

You can select among several international character sets for the Italic character table. Each character set contains eight characters that vary depending on the country or language, so you can 5 customize the Italic table to suit your printing needs. See Appendix C for character samples.

0 slash

The zero character has a slash (0) when this feature is on. It has no slash (0) when this feature is off. The slash allows you to easily distinguish between the uppercase letter “O” and a zero.

Input buffer

The input buffer stores up to 64KB of data sent from your computer, freeing your computer for other tasks while the printer prints. When the buffer is Off, the buffer cannot store data, so the computer must wait for the printer to print each character before it sends the next character.

Buzzer (beeper)

The printer beeps when an error occurs. (See page 7-2for more information on printer errors.) If you do not want the printer to beep when an error occurs, turn this setting off.
