- ║ EPSON FX AND COMPATIBLES - Additional Information ║
- ║ ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ ║
- ║ 1. Epson compatible printers must support user-defined, or downloadable ║
- ║ characters. (Epson printer control code: ESC & n1 c1 c2) ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 2. Certain Epson printers will print newly defined characters instead of ║
- ║ Italics. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 3. Your printer must be set up to accept downloadable characters. A DIP ║
- ║ switch may select this option. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 4. Your printer must be configured for EPSON rather than IBM codes. ║
- ║ ║
- ║ 5. Not all printers are 100% Epson FX compatibles. You may find that ║
- ║ selecting an alternate 'TYPE' solves your problem. For the technical- ║
- ║ minded, each TYPE has different download character range as follows: ║
- ║ ║
- ║ TYPE 0 - Default download TYPE 3 - Ascii 58-63 (Epson LX) ║
- ║ TYPE 1 - Ascii 128-255 TYPE 4 - Ascii 32-127 (Citizen 120D) ║
- ║ TYPE 2 - Ascii 128-233 TYPE 5 - Ascii 32-63 (Star NP) ║

- ║ For example, style 'g' would produce: Bold+Underline+Condensed ║
- ║═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════║
- ║ Backspace is not a style, but allows the combination of two or more ║
- ║ characters by over-printing them. For example, when in the print ║
- ║ formatter, by giving a character the style 'z' will make it overprint ║
- ║ the previous character. ║
