you select with this switch depends on the emulation set at the time (“Al- Emulation” on page 56).

When the printer is in standard (Epson) emulation, set- ting C 1 to ON selects the IBM Character Set #2 (confus- ing, but true). When OFF, this switch selects an italic character table.

When the printer is in IBM emulation, setting this switch ON selects IBM Character set #2 (box-drawing graphic characters, international accented characters (for example “e”, “n” and “U”), as well as common mathe- matical and technical symbols such as “Q” and “p”). Set- ting this switch to OFF selects a smaller set of characters for use if your computer only sends 7-bit data to the printer. If you’re not sure what this means, you probably won’t need to use this setting.

D2 through D4 - character code tables

Again, these switches perform different functions, depending on the emulation (“Al- Emulation” on

page 56) and the character table selected (’<Dl – Charac- ter table” on page 59). Use these switches to pick a char- acter code table which contains the characters you need.

In all modes except Standard (Epson) emulation (Al ON) with the Italic character set selected (Dl OFF), the switches select the following code pages (character tables):

	Code page	D2	D3	D4
#437	U.S.A.	ON	ON	ON
#850	Multi-l lngual	OFF	ON	ON
#860	Portuguese	ON	OFF	ON
#861	Icelandic	OFF	OFF	ON
#863	Canadian French	ON	ON	OFF
#865	Nordic	OFF	ON	OFF
