Choosing a Character Set
DIP switch 1-7 selects either the italic character set or a graphics
character set. The graphics character sets contain 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 a graphics
character set when you wish to print character graphics as they are
displayed on the screen. Even if you select a graphics character set,
you can still print ordinary text and italics. For italics, see your
software manual or the description of the ESC 4 command in the
Command Summary, Chapter 9.
Note: In most cases, a graphics character set is the preferred
selection.
To select either the italics or a graphics character set, set DIP switch
1-7 according to the table below.
