Page Layout And Other Commands - Epson EX-1000 User Manual

The other important change you can make to the standard character
set is to change some characters for ones commonly used in other
languages-chiefly European and Scandinavian-such as accented
characters and symbols. In Epson mode, eight international character
sets can be selected by setting DIP switches 1-6 to 1-8: USA, French,
German, UK, Danish, Swedish, Italian, and Spanish. See Appendix E for
the DIP switch settings.
In Epson mode, these eight, and five more, can also be selected by a
software command. The additional character sets are the following:
Norwegian, a second Danish set, Japanese, a second Spanish set, and
Latin American. A complete list of these characters is in Appendix B.
Also, all text characters can be printed in italics in Epson mode. You
can use this typestyle for special emphasis or as an alternative typeface.

They are an attractive alternative style.

Page Layout and Other Commands

The remaining commands in the command summary are not
normally needed when using commercial software. You may need some
of them if you are using a printer installation program provided with an
application package, but most deal with features (such as tabs, margins,
and line spacing) that are provided directly by commercial programs
and are therefore only useful to you if you want to program for the
printer using a programming language such as BASIC.
