The character pitch can be selected from the control panel before you start printing, or possibly by an initialization sequenceas described next.

hitialization sequence

One of the installation options may be to specify the commands your software sends at the beginning of each printing job. These commands are called the “initialization sequence” or “setup string.” If necessary,you can use the initialization ,sequenceto adjust the margins to your paper size or select a particular type style or pitch. You can look up the commands you want in Appendix B.

Forexarnple, if you selected96-columnwidth for a spreadsheetprogram, it would be convenient to add an elite pitch command to the initialization sequence. Appendix B indicates that this command consists of the two characters:

<Esc > “M”

which have decimal character codes 27 and 77 (hexadecimal IB and 4D). Your software manual or an on-screen prompt will explain how to place these codes in the initialization sequence.

SETTING THE DIP SWITCHES

After completing the installation of your software, check the setting of the printer’s DIP switches,in particular DIP switch 1-6. If you selected

aStar or Epson printer on the installation menu, switch 1-6 should be ON (the factory setting). If you selected an IBM printer, switch 1-6 should be OFF.

DIP switches 1-2 (auto CR), 1-7(character set), 1-8 (auto LF), and 2-1 (RAM usage) are also related to your software. Read what your software manual has to say about carriage returns, line feeds, character sets, and downloading characters, and refer to the explanation at the end of Chapter 1.

USING YOUR SOFTWARE

With the installation and DIP switch settings correctly completed, you are ready to entrust most of the control of your printer to your software. However, there will still be some things you have to do yourself.
