Although you won’t see italic characters in the Graphic table, most
application programs use ESC 4 and ESC 5 to turn italic on and off. This
gives you italic with the Graphic option. (If your application program
prints graphics characters when you
ask
for italic characters, then
switch to the Italic character set.)
If you select the Epson Character Graphics set, you might need to
choose a different printer from your program’s printer installation
routine (see Chapter 4). Your first choice should be the LQ-2500. The
second choice should be the LQ-800/1000 printer equipped with the
ESCP’ identity module. This gives you the same character and
command set found on the LQ-2500.
If neither of these printers is listed, you should contact the program’s
manufacturer to find whether an update is available. You could also’
select an Epson EX printer. It, too, has the same character set,
but be
aware that the EX is a nine-pin printer, not a 24-pin printer like the
LQ-2500. This may result in a slightly different look to the characters.
