Epson SQ-850 Printer User Manual


 
Problem
Solution
The printout is not
what you expected.
The typestyle or
characters that are set
by software cannot be
printed.
The printer prints a
series of strange
characters.
Italic characters are
printed instead of the
selected graphic
“line” characters.
The software may not be correctly
installed for your printer. Use the
program’s setup (or install) procedure to
check the printer settings on your
computer’s display, then reset as needed.
Your printer and the computer may not
be communicating correctly. Make sure
that you are using the correct interface
cable and that the communication
protocol is correct. See your computer’s
manual for more information. You can
also use your printer’s data dump mode
to check the data being sent from the
computer. (In data dump mode, an extra
printout of the codes reaching the
pritner is produced.)
The wrong character table may be
selected. If your application program is
capable of sending control codes, specify
the EPSON Extended Graphics character
table using ESC t 1. If settings cannot be
performed using control codes, set the
CG TABLE option of SelecType to
Graphic. Refer to 3-14.
