Epson 8900 Series - Manual (Page 96)

Introduction
This chapter describes the Texas Instruments Model 855 word
processing (WP) emulation mode. The Model 855 WP emulation
mode allows the Model 8900 Series Printer to accept and respond to
commands similar to those for a daisy-wheel printer. This mode
allows the printer to emulate most functions of the Model 855 Printer
operating in its WP mode with the following considerations.
q The Model 855 WP emulation supports all Model 8900 global
commands.
q You can select ribbon color with the command sequence ESC c n
or ESC r n.
q Factory selected power-up defaults for the Model 855 WP
emulation are:
— Processing mode — DP (The WP mode must be selected
after power-up.)
— Auto LF — NO
— The last form setting change made via the control panel is
retained and restored at power-up.
q The Model 855 WP emulation uses standard pitch and point for
superscript and subscript characters.
q The standard character set is the IBM PC2 Character Set.
q The escape sequence to select mosaic graphics by setting the
MSDB to 1 is ESC v.
q The escape sequence to cancel mosaic graphics by setting the
MSDB to 1 is ESC =.
