Switch 1-1-Selects pica or condensed printing. On is condensed; off
is pica. Regardless of the setting, you can still select condensed with
SelecType and either condensed or pica with ESCape codes.
Switch 1-2-Controls the printing of zeroes. When it is on, the zeroes
are slashed (0); when it is off, they are not.
Switch 1-3-Controls the paper-out sensor. When it is on, the printer
will ignore the lack of paper, causing printing to continue even when
the printer is out of paper. When it is off, the printer stops and sounds
the beeper when the end of the paper passes the paper-out sensor. The
PE (Paper End) signal will go out of pin 12 on the host connector
regardless of the setting of switch 1-3. See ESC 8 in Appendix G or J.
Switch 1-4-Selects the printer mode. When it is on, the printer uses
the control codes and character sets of the Epson mode; when the
switch is off, the printer uses the control codes and character sets of
the IBM Proprinter mode. Chapter 5 explains the differences between
the two modes. Appendixes H and K show the Epson and IBM Pro-
printer character sets, respectively. Appendixes G and J explain the
Epson and IBM Proprinter commands, respectively.
Switch 1-5-Selects emphasized or standard printing. When it is on,
printing is emphasized; when it is off, printing is standard. Regardless
of the setting, you can select emphasized with SelecType and either
emphasized or standard with ESCape codes.
Switches 1-6, 7-7, and I-B-Select an international character set. See
Table A-2 for the settings, and see Chapter 5 for information on the
use of the international sets.
