Once you set the DIP switches for a certain character set, that set
remains valid even after you turn off, reset, or initialize the printer.
However, software commands override the DIP switches settings
until the commands are canceled or the printer is turned off, reset,
or initialized.

Application Software
Because the family of Epson printers shares a great many
commands, you can use an application program even if it does not
list the LQ-850 or LQ-1050 on its printer selection menu. If the
printer is not listed, choose one of the following printers. They are
listed in order of preference.
LQ-850 (LQ-1050)
LQ-800 (LQ-1000)
LQ-510/LQ-500
LQ-1500
If none of these printers is listed, select the first one available on the
following list LQ, EX, FX, LX, RX, MX, Epson printer, Standard
printer, Draft printer.
To use all of the features of the printer, however, it is best to use a
program with the LQ-850J or LQ-1050 on its menu. If your program
does not list the printer, contact the software manufacturer to see if
an update is available that supports your model.
