EDS Mode Settings
The following details all of the settings you can program in the EDS Mode.
BANK A
Switch 1: Emulation
Selects Standard emulation (ON) or IBM emulation (OFF). Standard emulation
causes the printer to act like the Epson ESC/P (9-pin), while IBM emulation
makes it act like the IBM Proprinter III.
Switch 2: Character Table
The function of this switch depends on whether you are using IBM or Standard
emulation.
Switch 3: RAM Usage
Specifies whether RAM should be used as an input buffer (ON) or as a
download buffer (OFF). Selecting input buffer (ON) tells the printer to use
available RAM to store data it receives from the computer, which speeds up the
printing. Selecting download buffer (OFF) tells the printer to use available
RAM to store character patterns.
