Choosing a Character Table
DIP switch 1-7 selects either the italic character table or the Epson
Extended Graphics character table. The Epson Extended Graphics character table contains international accented characters, Greek characters, mathematic symbols, and character graphics for printing lines, corners, and shaded areas.
If you have an IBM ® or IBM-compatible computer, select the Epson
Extended Graphics table when you wish to print character graphics as they are displayed on the screen. Even if you select Epson
Character Graphics, you can still print ordinary text and italics. For italics, see the description of the ESC 4 command in the Command
Summary, Chapter 9.
Note: In most cases, Epson Extended Graphics is the preferred selection.
Sample printouts of the italic characters and the Epson Extended
Graphics characters are shown below.
Italics
