DIP-switch functions

This section describes all of the functions you can select with the DIP switches.

International character sets

You can change 12 characters in the italic character table to suit your printing needs. Since these characters are often used in other languages, they are named after countries and referred to as international character sets.

Select the international character set with DIP switches l-2,1-3, and 14, according to DIP-switch Table 3.

The character sets you can select by DIP switch are USA, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Denmark 1, Sweden, Italy, and Spain 1. However, you can also select the following sets with the ESC R software comman& Japan (English), Norway, Denmark II, Spain 11, Latin America, Korea, and Legal,

Note: If you send the ESC t 0 command (to select italics) while DIP switch 14 is on, the international character set is always USA.

Character tables

Your printer has six character tables built-in: five graphics character tables and one italics character table.

You can select the character tables with DIP switches l-2,1-3, and 14, according to Table 4.

To select a graphics character table, you must first turn DIP switch 1 4 0 n

Note: If you send the ESC t 1 command (to select graphics) while I DIP switch 14 is off, the graphics character table is always PC 437 (United States).

Print direction

Printing is normally bid&&o&. However, turning DIP switch l-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 l-5 is on, printing is unidirectional even if you select bidirectional with the ESC U 0 software command.

High-speed draft

By setting DIP-switch l-6 off, you can print draft characters at speeds up to 225 cps (characters per second). The printer reduces the number of dots in each draft-font character to increase the printing

speed.

If you select emphasized or condensed printing during high-speed draft mode, printing speed temporarily switch= to normal draft speed until the enhancement is turned off. Also, if a line contains superscript, subscript, dot-graphic, or downloaded characters, printing speed switches to normal draft speed for that line only.
