DIP-switch functions
This section describes all of the functions you can select with the DIP
switches.
International character sets
You can change 12 characters in the 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.
Select the international character set with DIP switches l-2,1-3, and
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 co mman& 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
switch 14 is on, the international character set is always USA.

Character tables
Your printer has six character tables built-in: five graphics character
tables and one italics character table.
On
You can select the character tables with DIP switches l-2,1-3, and
14, according to Table 4.
To select a graphics character table, you must first turn DIP switch
1 4 0 n
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).
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
If you select emphasized or condensed printing during high-speed
draft mode, printing speed temporarily switch= to normal draft
speed until the enhancement
superscript, subscript, dot-graphic, or downloaded characters,
printing speed switches to normal draft speed for that line only.
