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.

Emulation	Switch 2	Description
	Setting
Standard	ON	Graphics: IBM Character Set #2
	OFF	Italics: Italic character table used
IBM	ON	IBM Character Set #2
	OFF	IBM Character Set #1

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.
