Slashed zero
When DIP switch 1-2 is on, the printer prints slashed zeros (Ø).
When the DIP switch is off, the printer prints open zeros (0). This
feature is useful for clearly distinguishing between uppercase O
and zero when printing documents such as program lists.
Character table
When DIP switch 1-3 is on, the Epson Extended Graphics
character table is selected. When it is off, the italics character table
is selected. The Epson Extended Graphics character table contains
international accented characters, Greek characters, and graphics
characters for printing lines, corners, and shaded areas.
Since these character tables affect only half of the character set,
you can still print text if you select the Epson Extended Graphics
table. Also, with the proper software commands you can print
italics or graphics characters no matter which character table you
select.
Although most software programs work better with the graphics
table, some programs require the italics table. Try switching tables
if you are having trouble printing lines and other graphic
characters, or if italics don’t print on your printer. Keep in mind,
however, that your software may not have the capability to select
graphics or italics. See Chapter 4 for information on enhancing
your printing using software commands. Also see Appendix A for
the complete character tables.
Note: You may need to send the ESC 6 printer command to
print some of the Extended Graphics characters. See the
Command Summary in Chapter 8.
