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.
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.
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.
* The other 19 sets are the
following: Norweg1, Italian,
Swedish, ANSI ASCII, UK,
French, German, Spanish,
Norweg2, French2,
HP German, JIS ASCll,
HP Spanish, Chinese, IRV,
Swedis2, Portuguese,
IBM Portuguese, and
IBM Spanish. These are
partial variations of the
Roman-8 set.
**Bitmap means the Line
Printer typeface.
Symbol Sets | 33
In LJ4 Emulation Mode
The following table lists the symbol sets available in LJ4 emulation mode. A
table of the characters for each set is included later in this chapter.
