Epson 500 Printer User Manual


 
Character Tables
The printer comes with an installed set of character tables.
However, when printing from Windows and most DOS
software programs, the printer prints the characters you see on
screen and does not use its built-in character tables. Unless
you’re printing from a DOS program, and cannot print the
character you need, you should never have to change the
character table.
Note:
You never need to select the printer’s character tables or fonts when
using the printer with a Macintosh.
These character tables are selected using the printer’s Default
setting mode or by using software commands.
All tables except the italic are the same as the PC437 table for
hex codes 00 through 7F, so only the PC437 table is shown
completely. The rest of the tables show only the characters for
hex codes 80 through FF.
