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 l-4, according to DIP-switch Table 3.

The character sets you can select by DIP switch are USA, France, Germany, United Kingdom, Denmark I, Sweden, Italy, and Spain I. However, you can also select the following sets with the ESC R software command: Japan (English), Norway, Denmark II, Spain II, 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 1-4, according to Table 4.

To select a graphics character table, you must first turn DIP switch l-4 on

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

Print direction

Printing is normally bidirectional. 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.
