DIP-switch functions

Your printer has six character tables built-in: five graphics character
tables and one italics character table.
You can select the character tables with DIP switches l-2,1-3, and
14, according to Table 4.
To select a graphics character table, you must first turn DIP switch
140n
Note: If you send the ESC t 1 command (to select graphics) while
DIP switch 14 is off, the graphics character table is always PC 437
(United States).

This section describes all of the functions you can select with the DIP
switches.

International character sets
You can change 12 characters in the italic character table to suit your
printing needs. Since these characters are often used in other
languages, they are named after countries and referred to as
international character sets.
Select the international character set with DIP switches l-2,1-3, and
14, according to DIP-switch Table 3.
The character sets you can select by DIP switch are USA, France,
Germany, United Kingdom, Denmark 1, Sweden, Italy, and Spain 1.
However, you can also select the following sets with the ESC R
software comman& Japan (English), Norway, Denmark II, Spain 11,
Latin America, Korea, and Legal,
Note: If you send the ESC t 0 command (to select italics) while DIP
switch 14 is on, the international character set is always USA.

The following eight additional sets are available only by using the
ESC R software command.

Print direction

I

Printing is normally bid&&o&. However, turning DIP switch l-5
on for unidirectional printing-in which the print head prints in one
direction only--allows for precise vertical printing alignment. This
makes it ideal for printing graphics such as lines or boxes.
If DIP switch l-5 is on, printing is unidirectional even if you select
bidirectional with the ESC U 0 software command.

High-speed draft
By setting DIP-switch l-6 off, you can print draft characters at speeds
up to 225 cps (characters per second). The printer reduces the
number of dots in each draft-font character to increase the printing
speed.
If you select emphasized or condensed printing during high-speed
draft mode, printing speed temporarily switch= to normal draft
speed until the enhancement is turned off. Also, if a line contains
superscript, subscript, dot-graphic, or downloaded characters,
printing speed switches to normal draft speed for that line only.

Input buffer capacity
The printer stores print data sent from your computer in its input
buffer. Keep DIP switch 1-7 off to select an BKbyte buffer.

interface signals are shown in the following table.

Skip-over-perforation
Turning DIP switch 1-8 on when you are using continuous paper
enables the skipover-perforation function Use this function to leave
a l-inch (25.~mm) margin between the last printable line on one
page and the first printable line on the next page. This causes the
printer to skip over the perforation between continuous sheets.
Most application programs take care of the top and bottom margins.
Do not turn on skipover-perforation unless your program does not
provide these margins.

When you are printing on continuous paper, DIP switches 2-l and
2-2 let you select from the four page lengths described in DIP-switch
Table 5.

Tear off
When you turn DIP switch 2-3 on, the tear-off feature is automatic
when using continuous paper. The printer automatically advances
the last printed page to the tear-off position. You can then easily tear
off the printed paper.

t

When auto line feed is on (DIP switch 2-4 on), the printer
accompanies each carriage-return code (CR) received with a linefeed
code (LF).

Your printer is equipped with a parallel interface.

The column heading “Direction” refers to the direction of signal
flow as viewed from the printer.
“Return” denotes the twisted-pair return, to be connected at
signal ground level. For the interface wiring, be sure to use a
twisted-pair cable for each signal and to complete the
connection on the return side.
All interface conditions are based on TTL level. Both the rise
and fall times of each signal must be less than 0.2 microseconds.
Data transfer must be carried out by observing the ACKNLG or
BUSY signal. (Data transfer to this printer can be carried out
only after receipt of the ACKNLG signal or when the level of
the BUSY signal is LOW.)

Installation/Support Tips
Most application programs let you specify the type of printer you use
so that the program can take full advantage of the printer’s features.
Many of these programs provide an installation or setup section that
presents a list of printer-s.

Choosing from a menu
Because Epson printers share a great many commands, you can use
an application program even if it does not list your printer on its
printer selection menu. Choose from the following list (the printers
are listed in the order of preference):
LQ-570
LQ-510/550
LQ-500
LQ-WJ (LQ-1060)
LQ450 (LQ-1050)
LQ-2550
LQ-2500
LQ-so0 (LQ-1000)
LQ-1500
If none of these printers is listed, select the first one available from
the following list:
EX, FX, LX, RX, MS, Epson printer, Standard printer, Draft printer
To use all the features of your printer, however, it is best to choose a
program with your printer on its menu. If your program does not list
this printer, contact the manufacturer of the software to see if an
update is available.
