Choosing A Character Set - Epson 1010 User Manual

Choosing a Character Set

DIP switch 1-7 selects either the italic character set or a graphics
character set. The graphics character sets contain international
accented characters, Greek characters, mathematic symbols, and
character graphics for printing lines, corners, and shaded areas.
If you have an IBM
character set when you wish to print character graphics as they are
displayed on the screen. Even if you select a graphics character set,
you can still print ordinary text and italics. For italics, see your
software manual or the description of the ESC 4 command in the
Command Summary, Chapter 9.
Note: In most cases, a graphics character set is the preferred
selection.
To select either the italics or a graphics character set, set DIP switch
