Choosing a Character Table
The SelecType
Cci
TflBLE
setting lets you select the Epson Extended
Graphics character table,
the
italics character table, or the download
character table. (CC stands for Character Generator.)
The Epson Extended Graphics character table contains graphics
characters (for printing lines, comers, and shaded areas), international
characters, Greek characters, and mathematical symbols.
If you have an IBM
®
or compatible computer, select the Epson Extended
Graphics table when you wish to print the graphics characters as they
are displayed on the screen. Since the character table setting affects only
the upper half of the character table, you can still print text if you have
selected the Epson Extended Graphics table.
Note: See Appendix B for more information on character tables.
To re-map any downloaded characters from the positions
O-127
to the
positions
128-255,
select the download character table. (See Chapter
4
for more information on user-defined characters.)
Selecting the italics table defines the upper half of the character table as
italic characters. However, you can print italics even if you choose the
Epson Extended Graphics character set, simply by using the ESC
4
command. (See Chapter 8.) If your application program prints graphics
characters when you select italic characters, switch to the italic character
table.
If you select the Epson Extended Graphics character set, you might need
to
choose
a different printer from your program’s printer installation
routine (see Chapter
4).
Your first choice should still be the
LQ-2550
and
your second choice the
LQ-2500.
Your third choice should be the
LQ-800/1000 printer equipped with the ESC/P identity module. The
second and third choices give you the same character and command set
found on the LQ-2550.
If none of these printers is listed, you should contact the program’s
manufacturer to find out whether an update is available.
