Character table

When DIP switch 1-3 is on, the Epson Extended Graphics character table
is selected. When it is off, the italics character table is selected. The Epson
Extended Graphics character table contains international accented
characters, Creek characters, and character graphics for printing liner,
corners. and shaded areas. If you have an IBM
compatible, select the Epson Extended Graphics table when you wish to
print the character graphics as they are displayed on the screen. Since the
character table setting affects only half of the character table, you can
still print text if you have selected the Extended Graphics set. Also. you
can still print italics if you use the proper software command. If your
printer is in IBM emulation mode (DIP switch 1-4 on). the graphics
characters are available no matter which character table you select.
