FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENCES
The following is a list of functional differences between this printer’s
emulation and the FX-286e printer.
▪ The maximum line length is 13.6 inches (136 columns at 10cpi,
816 graphics columns per line at 60 dpi).
▪ Special enhanced print modes are not available when the “paper
low” condition is reached.
▪ The number of characters that can be discarded by the CAN
command is different due to a different buffer size.
▪ The delete code is discarded.
▪ The Auto Feed XT function (pin 14 on the parallel interface
connector) is not implemented.
▪ Double-wide and double-high print characters appear to have
wider dots due to offset printing.
▪ Adjacent dots can be printed when ESC Y or ESC Z graphics are
selected. This provides a sharper image of higher density.
▪ All 12 dot rows will print when using 12-high characters in a
superscript or subscript.
▪ Superscript characters are not underlined in a different dot row.
▪ Even though the escape sequence and data to print nine-bit
graphics are accepted, the data byte containing the ninth bit is
discarded and only the top eight bits of data are printed.
▪ The printer has more than 80 character sets that may be selected
from the CCU menu.
▪ Horizontal densities available are 60, 120, and 240 dpi. When 72
dpi is received, it is converted to 60 dpi. When densities of 80, 90,
or 144 are received, they are converted to 120 dpi.
▪ The widths of the proportional characters are slightly different.
▪ The Courier NLQ font is used for Roman.
▪ The Gothic font is used for Sans Serif.
▪ The italic font prints only in NLQ mode.
▪ The character graphics font prints only in draft mode.
