Command Summary

Page 4: Command Summary and Symbol Sets - Epson · Raster width ESC *r#S. Command Summary | 9 Print model Select current pattern ESC *v#T Select source transparency mode ESC *v#N Select pattern

Command Summary | 4

Your printer has the ability to emulate the following printers in each printer mode:

LJ-4 Hewlett-Packard LaserJet 4 (PCL5e)

ESC/P2 EPSON LQ-570 (24-pin)

FX EPSON FX-870/1170 (9-pin)

GL/2 Hewlett-Packard GL/2 graphics language

In addition, the following printer control languages are supported:

PJL Printer Job Language

EJL EPSON Job Control Language

This section lists the printer commands for these modes. Most of the commands closely emulate the original printer or the control language; however, some have operational differences because the printers use different technologies. See the control command descriptions for information about these differences.

Introduction to Symbol Sets

Your printer can access a variety of symbol sets. Many of these symbol sets differ only in the international characters specific to each language.

When you are considering which font to use, you should also consider which symbol set to combine with the font. Available symbol sets vary depending on which emulation mode you use and which font you choose.

Normally, your software handles fonts and symbols, so you probably never need to adjust the printer’s settings. If you are writing your own printer control programs, or if you are using older software that cannot control fonts, refer to the following sections for symbol set details.
