DIP-switch functions
This section describes all of the functions you can select with the DIP

italic
character table to suit your
printing needs. Since these characters are often used in other
languages, they are named after countries and referred to as
international character sets.

14, according to DIP-switch Table 3.
The character sets you can select by DIP switch are USA, France,
Germany, United Kingdom, Denmark 1, Sweden, Italy, and Spain 1.
However, you can also select the following sets with the
ESC
R
software comman& Japan (English), Norway, Denmark II, Spain 11,
Latin America, Korea, and Legal,
Note: If you send the ESC
t
0 command (to select italics) while DIP

To select a graphics character table, you must first turn DIP switch
140n
Note: If you send the ESC
t
1 command (to select graphics) while
DIP switch 14 is off, the graphics character table is always PC
437
(United States).
I
Print direction
Printing is normally
bid&&o&.
However, turning DIP switch l-5
on for unidirectional printing-in which the print head prints in one
direction only--allows for precise vertical printing alignment. This
makes it ideal for printing graphics such as lines or boxes.
If DIP switch l-5 is on, printing is unidirectional even if you select
bidirectional with the ESC U 0 software command.
High-speed draft
By setting DIP-switch l-6 off, you can print draft characters at speeds
up to 225 cps (characters per second). The printer reduces the
number of dots in each draft-font character to increase the printing
speed.
If you select emphasized or condensed printing during high-speed
draft mode, printing speed temporarily
switch=
to normal draft
speed until the enhancement is turned off. Also, if a line contains
superscript, subscript, dot-graphic, or downloaded characters,
printing speed switches to normal draft speed for that line only.
