Withthisprinteryoucancreatenewcharactemandsymbols,downloadtheir
dotdata,andhavethemprintedin placeof selectedcharactersin the regular
characterset.Charactemthatcanbe generatedinthiswayrangefromsimple
but useful symbols like the check mark through complex Chinese or
Japanesecharactem.
Regular charactem are permanently stored in the printer’s ROM, but
charactm you designare downloadedand storedin RAM for use.

DESIGNING YOUR OWN DRAFT CHARACTERS
Designingand printing your own charactershas two requirements:first,
designingthe shapeof the character,calculatingthe datanecessaryto make
the shape, and sendingthat data to the printer, and secondly,sendingthe
commandto printthe downloadedcharactersinsteadof the regularcharacters. There are a number of design constraintsfor downloaddraft quality
characters:
●

The matrixor grid on whichyou designthe charactersis six boxeswide
by nine boxeshigh.

s Horizontally,dotsmaybecenteredinabox, ormaystraddlealine, making
the actualcharactergrid 11dotswideby 9 dotshigh.Vertically,dotscan
only be centeredin a box. See Figure5-1.

●

The minimumwidthof a characteris five dots.

●

The user-definedcharactemmay use eightdots vertically.

●

●

Dots cannotoverlap— that is, you may not havea dot insidea box next
to one that is on a line.
You may defineany positionin the ASCIItable.

Next you must choose whetherto make the car symbolan ascenderor a
descender.This determineshow the characteris seatedon the line:
.,.,,.
Ascender:
!l~~h:
Descender:
!...!:::,}!:’2
We decidedthatourcar symbolwillnotbe a “descender”,so a figure“l” is
writtennextto Descenderon thegrid.If yourcharacteris a descender,write
a “O”next to Descender.
Next, you must specify the left space and the last print column of the
character.
Being able to specifythe width of the characterallowsyou to specifythe
precise area insidethe grid that the characterwill occupy,so that narrow
characterswill look attractivenext to wide ones.
Acceptablevaluesfor theleft spaceareOto 7, and thelastprintcolumnare
from 4 to 11.
Our characterwill occupyfromcolumn1to column11,so the left spaceis
Oand the characterwidthdata is 11.

71

!

Now,we calculatetheverticalnumericalvaluesof thecolumnsof dots,and
enterthemunderneaththe grid.For example,lookingat Figure5-3, we see
thatintheleft-mostcolumntherearefivedots,andtheyamsittinginthe“64”
box,“32’’box,“16”box,“’8”box,and“4”box.Thusitsverticalvalueis 124.
In the next column,there is no dot straddlingthe verticalline; its value is
nxordcklas O.
You will see the lettemml, m2,ti, etc., are aboveyourvalues.Whenyou
definethe character,you willsubstituteyourvaluefor eachof theseletters.

To demonstratehow to use the downloadcharactem,let’s use the “car”

DEFINING YOUR OWN NLQ CHARACTERS
As you probablynoticed,NLQ charactersare printedby two passesof the
printhead.Halfofthecharacterisprintedonthefirstpass,andtheremainder
onthesecondpass.Thepaperis rolleduphalfa dotheightinbetweenpasses
to let the printhead printdotson the secondpass that overlapthe previous
dots,in otier to fill in the spacesand producedensercharacters.Additionally,tie print head speed is halved,and the dots are printed at doublethe
densityof draft characters.For this reason,NLQcharacterscan containup
to 23 dots in the horizontaldirection.
Fundamentally,theprocessto defineandprintdownloadedNLQcharacter
is the same as for draft charactem,exceptthat youmust supplyaboutfour
timesasmuchcharacterdata,andyoumustdesignthecharacterwiththe?SVO
passes of the print head in mind. There are small diffextmceswith the
standardmode in the way the attributeinformationis processedalso.
In the draft qualitymodethe attributebyte carriesthe descenderdata, and
specifiesthe left spaceandthe characterwidth.In the NLQ mode,the first
bit also carries the descenderdata, and the next three bits describe the
character’sleft space as with the draft charactem,but the last four bits
describethe right space.Appropriateallocationof data in these sevenbits
lets you place the character whe~ you like within the grid, with the
nxtrictionthat the charactermust be at least 9 dots wide.
Usethe gridin Figure5-4 to helpplotthedata.Dueto thetwo-passprocess,
NLQcharacterscan containup to 16dotsvertically.ml to m23 arethe data
for the first pass, and m24 to m46 are the data for the secondpass.
To makethe characterdataeasierto calculate,put the first pass dotsinside
theboxesonthegridwhenyouaredesigningyourcharacters,andthesecond
passdotson the lines.Rememberthat adjacentdotsmay not overlapon the
samepass;in otherwords,if onedotis in a box,its adjacentdoton the same
passmaynotbeon aline.l%erefom,to makesmoothcharactm, putthedots
neededto overlapany spacesin a characterin the appropriateplacesin the
secondpass grid.
If weplotourcar-shapedsymbolforNLQ,thegriddatawilllooklikeFigure
5-5.
Thedefiningprocessisthesameas fordraftcharacters,exceptthatyoumust
selectNLQ mode, and you must define46 data. If you wish to print your
NLQ characterswith the regularcharacterset, the remarks regardingthe

WhenusingyourprinterwithanIBMPC, PC-XT,or PC-ATor compatible,
youwillprobablybe usingPC-DOSor MS-DOSas anoperatingsystem.A
numberof softwaretricksmaybe usefidhere.This chapteris not,however,
a substitutefor the operatingsystemmanualssuppliedwithyourcomputer.
To learn how to print files, etc. it is best to mad the relevantparts of these
manuals.

INSTALLING APPLICATION SOFTWARE WITH
YOUR PRINTER
Wheninstallingapplicationsoftware,you may find that yourprinteris not
specificallymentionedin the lists of printersgiven for installation.However, this should pose no problem. Read this section, and guidelines
providedwith your softwareon printerinstallation.
If youhaveyourprintersetup in standardmode,thenchoosean EpsonLX850 as your printerto be selected.
Ifthisis notmentioned,chooseoneof thefollowing(inorderof prefe~nce):
Star NX-1000/LC-10,Star ND-10/15,EpsonFX86e,Epson FX286e.
If you have your printer setup with the DIP switchesto emulatean IBM
ProprinterIII, simplychoosethis from the list of printers availablein the
applicationsoftwarelist.
If the IBM ProprinterIII is not mentioned,use PmprinterII or Pmprinter.
Ifyoursoftwmpackage doesnotmentionprintembyname,butasksinstead
what featuresyour printer is capableof, the most commonquestionsare:
“Can your printerperforma backspace?”and “Can it do a hardwareform
feed?”.You shouldanswer“Yes”to both these questions.
Other softwarepackagesmay well allow you to install specificfeatures.
Spreadsheetprogramswill often ask for the maximumnumberof columns
to be printed.This is givenbelow.

MakesurethattheDIPswitchesaresetforthecorrectprinteremulation,and
thatyou haveselectedthe appropriatecharactersetusingthe DIP switches.
If you are in doubtabouttheCotilgrationof yourapplicationsoftware,seek
expertadvice.Yoursoftwaresupplierwillprobablybe yourmost qualified
reference.

EMBEDDING PRINTER COMMANDS
Many word-processorsand other software lack commandsfor changing
font, or printing double-sizecharacters.Your printer thereforehas commandsthatcanbeembeddedindocumentsto controlthesefunctionswithout
softwarehelp.The commandsconsistof a capitalletterenclosedin double
parentheses,followedby a digit:

If you want to print a title in double-sizeOrator with small capitals,then

The softwarewillnot knowthattheseare commands,so you cannottrust
yoursoftwareto giveyou the conect line width.The printedlinemaybe

find,replace,andcopyfimctionsofword-processingsoftwarecanbehelpful
here.
If youdo notusethesecommandsor thepanelcontrols,theprinterwillprint
standard-size,draft characters.
The printer supportsvarious commandsin additionto the above,such as
quadruple-sizeprinting.Mostoftheseothercommandsconsistof theescape
code followedby one or more lettersor numbers.
If yoursoftwareenablesyouto placethe escapecodein yourfdes, or if you
areabletodefinethisas auseroptionduringinstallation,youcanalsoembed
these escape sequences.

PROGRAMMING THE PRINTER WITH DOS
COMMANDS
If your system includesthe file PRINT.COMyou can use the main DOS
printingcommand.Simplytypethe wordPRINT followedby the name of
the file you want to print. To print a fde named README.DOC,for
example,type:

A>

R

.D

P

The computer may respond with the following message, asking which
printerto use:

N

o

1i

d

[

:

If yourcomputeris connectedto onlyoneprinter,pressRETURNto select
the default choice (PRN). Printing will begin and the A> prompt will
reappear.You can executeother commandsor programswhile the fde is
being printed.
A singlePRINTcommandcan print two or more files.List the fde names
consecutivelyon the sameline,or use wild-cardcharactem(* and ?). Each
file will be printedstartingon a new page.The PRINT commandalsohas
controloptions.For example,you can termimte a printingjob in progress
with then option.(Theprintermay not stopprintingimmediatelyas there
may be considerabledatastoredaheadin itsbuffer.)For then option,type:

A>

P

See yourDOSmanualfor furtherinformationaboutthe PRINTcommand.
If your systemdoes not includePRINT.COM,you can print filesby using
the PRN devicenamein COPYor TYPEcommandssuchas the following:

If youprintfromtheDOScommandlevelveryoften,itwillbe advantageous
to cn?atea printersetupfde. Theninsteadof settingfontetc.manuallyeach
time, you can complete the setup with a single command from your
computer.For example,you can createa file containingprintercommands
to selectnear letter quality,and selectelite pitch with the Standardmode.
You can find the commandsin Chapter4. We suggestthe following:
ANear letter quality
Elite pitch

●




“X”

“!”

“l”
<1>

“!” <1> is a powerfulcommandthat, in additionto selectingelite
pitch, cancelsunwantedfeatures such as underliningwhich might be left
from previous commands.The angle brackets around the <1> indicate
charactercode 1, whichis a ccmtmlcode,not the printabledigit“l”.
You may want to place additionalcommandsin this ffle, such as left and
rightmargins,linespacingandbottommargincommands.Oryoumaywant
to c~ate a variety of setupfdes with a differentset of commandsin each.
To avoidexcessline feeds,you shouldplacethe commandson one line in
thesetupfile.Youmayor maynotbe ableto generatea setupfde withwordprocessingsoftware;it dependson whether your softwarelets you enter
controlcodes.If yoursystemincludesthe file EDLIN.COM,however,you
can easilycreate a setup file with the DOS line editor.
An appropriatenamefor this setupfile wouldbe NLQELITE.DAT.To use
theDOSlineeditor,typethecommandEDLINNLQELITE.DAT,thentype
the underlinedparts of the followingdisplay.Press RETURNat the end of

How theprogram works
Thisprogrambeginsby assigninga numberof printercommandsto BASIC
stringvariables(lines 1000to 1090).Youcan findmostof thesecommands
near the beginningof chapter4.
The WIDTH“LPT1:”255 statementin line 1110meansinfiite line width.
It preventsthe IBM-PCfrom insertingunwantedcarriagemtums and line
feeds in graphicsdata.
Actualprintingbeginsin line 1120.Usingthe preassignedcommands,the
programprints samplesof its diffenmtfonts, includinga line showingall
stylesin italics,followedby samplesof the printpitches,then somedouble
and quadruple-sizedprinting.
Next comes the central attractionof the program: a line of text printed
fourteentimesinexpandingandcontractingloopstogiveabarreleffect.The
workisdoneby fourprintercommands:a commandsettingtherightmargin
(line 1400);a centeringcommand(line 1420);a commandto vary the line
spacing(lines 1440and 1490);and a commandto micro-adjustthe space
betweencharactm (lines 1450and 150Q).
Nexttheprogramnmmnsto normalspacingandgivesa demonstrationofthe
printer’s word-processingabilities:bold printing,underlining,subscripts,
etc.
The row of automobilesin the nextprintedline is createdby downloading
two new characterpatterns,whichare printedin placeof the character“e”
(character60). Detailscan be foundin Chapter5.
The final part of the programuses dot graphicsto print some “SW” logos
withvariousdensities.Thedotpatternof thelogowasoriginallylaid outon
graphpaper,then convertedto the data in lines 2400to 2630with the help
of a calculator.Each number~presents eightverticaldots. (See “Graphics
commands”in Chapter4 for details.).
The patternis printedin four rows,each row is eightdotshigh and 65 dots
wide.Lines 1800to 1850madthedotdataintoa stringarrayvariablenamed
LOGO$.Line 1860sets the line spacingto 8/72 inch so that the rows will
connectvertically.The loop in lines 1870to 1960doesthe printingin four

Possible remedy
Checkthe softwareinstallation,andre-installthe software if necessary.
Check the software installatio~ and insert the commandsnecessary for font changes into the software.
Eitheryou areusingthe wrongkemational Character
Set (reset with DIP switches or software commands),
or you have the wrong character set selected (for
example if charactersother thanIBM block graphic
charactersare being printed). Correct this with DIP
switches or the appropriatesoftware sequences.

If the printoutis not what is expected:
Check
Is the printer installed correctly?
Is the printer not printing
anythingthatyou areexpecting?

Possible remedy
Your software may think that it is driving a different
emulationto theone actuallyset. Checkthe DIPswitch
settings to make sure you have the right emulation.
Use theHex Dumpmode to analyzetheoutputfromthe
computerto the printer.This will enable you to determine that the right escape sequences, etc are being
transmitted.

MAINTENANCE
Essentially,your printer is a robust piece of equipment, but should be
treatedwith amodicumofcarein orderto avoidmalfimctions.Forexample:
●

●

✎

●

●

Keep yourprinterin a “comfortable”environment.Roughlyspeaking,if
you arecomfortable,thentheenvironmentis suitablefor yourprinter,too
(see Chapter1).
Do not subjectthe printerto physicalshocksor excessivevibration.
Avoidextremelydustyenvironments.Dust is the enemyof all precision
mechanicaldevices.
To clean the exterior of the printer, use a cloth barely dampenedwith
eitherwaterwith a littledetergentor a little alcohol,but do not allowany
liquid to fall insidethe printer.
The interiorof theprintermay be cleanedwitha smallvacuumcleaneror
a-compressed-airaerosol(sold for this purpose).When performingthis
operation, be sure not to bend or damage any cable connectionsor
electroniccomponents.

REPLACING THE PRINT HEAD
Thisisnot ajob whichyouwillneedto doveryoften.Theprintheadhasbeen
designedto last for about 100millioncharactem.In normaleverydayuse,
thistranslatesto yearsof life.However,if theprintqualityis faint,evenafter
youhavechangedthe ribbonor youhaveadjustedthe gapbetweentheprint
head and the platen (see Chapter1), the printhead will need replacement.
Only use a replacementprinthead as recommendedby your supplier.
1. Turn OFF the printer, and unplugthe powercord.
2. Removethe top cover and ribboncartridge.
3. Ifthepnnterhas beenin operitionimmediatelybeforethisoperation,the
print head will be hot. Allow time for the print head to cool before
attempingto work on it.
4. Move the print head carnage toward the right until you can see the
connectorcover. Removethe comector cover and pull the cable free
from the connector.
5. Unscrewthe two screwsthat hold the print head in place and set them
aside.

CHARACTER SETS
The followingtables showthe standardand IBM charactersets.
The decimalcharactercode of each characteris shown in an inset to the
lower right of the character.
Thehexadecimalcodecanbe foundby readingthe entriesat thetop andleft
edgesof the table.For example,the character“A” is in column4 and row
1, so its hexadecimalcharactercodeis 41. This is equivalent(4x 16+ 1 =
65) to decimal65, the numberin the inset.
Control codes recognizedby this printer are indicatedby abbreviations
insidepointedbrackets.<>.
