Star Micronics LC24-300 Printer User Manual


 
you select with this switch depends on the emulation set
at the time (“Al- Emulation” on page 56).
When the printer is in standard (Epson) emulation, set-
ting C 1 to ON selects the IBM Character Set #2 (confus-
ing, but true). When OFF, this switch selects an italic
character table.
When the printer is in IBM emulation, setting this
switch ON selects IBM Character set #2 (box-drawing
graphic characters, international accented characters
(for example “e”,
“n” and “U”), as well as common mathe-
matical and technical symbols such as “Q” and “p”). Set-
ting this switch to OFF selects a smaller set of
characters for use if your computer only sends 7-bit
data to the printer. If you’re not sure what this means,
you probably won’t need to use this setting.
D2 through D4 - character code tables
Again, these switches perform different functions,
depending on the emulation (“Al- Emulation” on
page 56) and the character table selected (’<Dl Charac-
ter table” on page 59). Use these switches to pick a char-
acter code table which contains the characters you
need.
In all modes except Standard (Epson) emulation (Al ON)
with the Italic character set selected (Dl OFF), the
switches select the following code pages (character
tables):
