Epson 4500 - Manual (Page 103)

Choosing a Character Table
DIP switch 1-7 selects either the italic character table or the Epson
Extended Graphics character table. The Epson Extended Graphics
character table contains international accented characters, Greek
characters, mathematic symbols, and character graphics for printing
lines, corners, and shaded areas.
If you have an IBM ® or IBM-compatible computer, select the Epson
Extended Graphics table when you wish to print character graphics as
they are displayed on the screen. Even if you select Epson Character
Graphics, you can still print ordinary text and italics. For italics, see the
description of the ESC 4 command in the Command Summary,
Chapter 9.
Note: In most cases, Epson Extended Graphics is the preferred
selection.
Sample printouts of the italic characters and the Epson Extended
Graphics characters are shown below.
