Chapter 3

Using the SQ-2000

This chapter tells you how to set up your word processor or other applications software to work with the SQ-2000. If you are interested in programming with the SQ-2000, the second part of this chapter contains basic information on control codes and ESCape sequences.

Using the SQ-2000 with Word Processors

Most word processing programs today support the SQ-2000 because it uses the same commands and control codes as many Epson printers.

These programs usually have a setup or installation procedure that prepares the program to work with a printer. This is often a short question-and-answer session in which the program asks two or three basic questions about your computer and printer. To set up a program for use with the SQ-2000, you would give the following answers:

QuestionAnswer

What type of computer

Your computer’s type

are you using?

 

What type of printer

Choose LQ-1500 if listed. If not listed,

are you using?

choose FX-80 or FX-100. If specific mod-

 

els are not listed, choose “Epson prin-

 

ter.” (When new printers are released, it

 

takes time to update the lists, so by

 

choosing another Epson printer, you

 

will still be sending the correct codes.)
