Choosing a Character Table

The SelecType CG TABLE setting lets you select the italics character table, the EPSON Extended Graphics character table, or the download character table. (CG stands for Character Generator.)

The EPSON Extended Graphics character table contains graphics characters (for printing lines, corners, and shaded area), international accented characters, Greek characters, and mathematic symbols.

If you have an IBM® or compatible computer, select the EPSON Extended Graphics table when you wish to print the graphics characters as they are displayed on the screen. Since the character table setting only affects the upper half of the character table, you can still print text if you have selected the EPSON Extended Graphics character table.

To print the user-defined characters that you have defined previously., select the download character table. Also, you can still print italics if you use the proper software command (refer to the ESC t and ESC 4 commands in Chapter 9).

Note: See the Appendix for more information on character tables.
