Decimal is a numbering system composed of 10 digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8 and 9.
Default has two meanings: one indicates the previously set conditions or
settings executed when the power is turned on, reset or initialized; and
the other indicates the original settings when shipped from the factory
(FACTORY settings).
An impact printer whereby wires (pins) strike the ribbon and subsequently
a dot prints on the paper. The software in the printer supplies the com­
mands which determine which pins are activated to form the appropriate
character(s).
A measure of resolution used for monitors and printers.
Double printing is a print quality enhancing mode which uses a double
strike with two passes of the printhead, feeding the paper Vi so inch (0.14
mm) between the first and second pass (in Epson ESC/P2 mode only).
Double high printing makes the height of a character twice that of a
normal one.
Double wide printing makes the width of a character twice that of a normal
one.
Download character is a character which the user can design.
Draft is one of three print qualities available on this printer. Draft mode
uses a minimum number of dots per character to maximize printing
speed.

Emphasized printing:
Emulation:
Escape (ESC) sequence:
Emphasized printing is a print quality enhancing mode done in one pass
of the printhead at half speed, allowing horizontally adjacent dots to be
printed producing a darker character.
Emulation means to operate like another printer.
This printer can emulate the Epson LQ-570 or the IBM Proprinter X24E.
“ESC” is a control code that begins most printer commands. The charac­
ters which follow the “ESC” are interpreted as command, rather than
characters to print.
ESC/P2: An expanded level of commands for 24 and 48 pin dot matrix printers.
