Printronix Series 5 - Manual (Page 133)

4–80 Configuration Menus
Character Set
This parameter selects a character set for the Epson emulation. Note that when
OCR–A or OCR–B is selected as the print language, the Font Attribute Typeface
option is changed to OCR–A or OCR–B, respectively.
The first level of this menu selects which group of character sets will be used. To use
one of these sets, choose the desired group heading (such as European Sets) and
press ENTER. Then choose the desired set within that group (such as 8859–2 Latin
2) and press ENTER. By moving down in the menu and scrolling through the list of
European sets, a different set may be chosen by pressing ENTER. Character sets
are shown in detail in the Character Sets Reference Manual .
Alternate Set 80–9F
This option determines if data in the range of hex 80 through hex 9F should be
interpreted as a control code or as a printable character.
•
CONTROL CODE interprets data in the range of hex 80 through hex 9F
as a control code.
•
PRINTABLE prints data in the range of hex 80 through hex 9F.
20 CPI Condensed
Compressed print characters are narrower than the normal character set. This is
helpful for applications where you need to print the maximum amount of
information on a page.
•
Enable prints about 60 percent of the width of normal characters when
compressed print is chosen by the host computer. For example, a 12
CPI Draft font will compress to 20 CPI.
•
Disable will not compress print widths, even if condensed print is chosen
by the host.
