DIP-switch functions
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).
This section describes all of the functions you can select with the DIP
switches.
International character sets
Print direction
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.
Printing is normally bidirectional. 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.
Select the international character set with DIP switches
l-2,1-3,
and
l-4, according to DIP-switch Table 3.
The character sets you can select by DIP switch are USA, France,
Germany, United Kingdom, Denmark I, Sweden, Italy, and Spain I.
However, you can also select the following sets with the ESC
R
software co
mmand: Japan (English), Norway, Denmark II, Spain II,
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.
