Orientation
The EX-800 emulation has no command to change orientation, so use the
Select Orientation superset command if you need to print in landscape mode.
If the printer doesn’t have enough memory in which to rotate the font, it
displays that message on the panel and uses instead the closest font it has in
the orientation you’ve chosen.
Symbol set
The standard EX-800 symbol set is ASCII, at least for the first half of its 256
character slots. For the second half of the EX-800 symbol set you have a
choice of either italics (so you don’t have to switch to a separate font to get
them) or character graphics (so you don’t have to switch to Proprinter
emulation for IBM graphics).
To choose between access to italics or to character graphics, send this
command:
<ES0 t n
in which for n if you enter
0 (zero) you get italics, which is the de-
fault,
or if you enter 1 (one) you get character
graphics.
International characters
Moreover, you can overlay the symbol set with particular country-specific
symbols. To choose which international symbols you wish to overlay, send
this command:
<ES0 R n
For n enter from the following table the number that corresponds to the
symbols you want:
