Preface The User's Manual for the FX Series Printers consists of two volumes: Tutorial and Reference. This volume is the Reference, which contains the appendixes to Volume 1. These appendixes are organized as follows: Appendix A deals with the characters: it gives ASCII codes and displays the dot matrix characters. Appendixes B through D cover control codes. Appendix B shows the codes in their ASCII numerical order, while C provides a list of the same codes organized by usage groups. Appendix D provides a chart of control codes as they are implemented on three Epson printers, the MX III, the FX, and the RX; a discussion of the differences follows the chart. Appendixes E through H provide information on other printing needs: E covers defaults and DIP switches, F gives troubleshooting advice, G summarizes how to combine print modes, and H gives ideas for customizing your printer and its programs. Appendixes I through K concentrate on technical aspects of the hardware: maintenance, specifications, and the parallel interface. A complete table of contents for this volume begins on the next page. For your convenience, there is an index at the end of each volume covering the complete two-volume set. You can therefore find all the references to any topic in either one. iii

Preface
The User’s Manual for the FX Series Printers consists of two vol-
umes: Tutorial and Reference. This volume
is the Reference, which
contains the appendixes to Volume 1.
These appendixes are organized as follows:
Appendix A deals with the characters:
it gives ASCII codes and
displays the dot matrix characters.
Appendixes B through D cover control codes. Appendix B shows
the codes in their ASCII numerical order, while C provides a list of the
same codes organized by usage groups. Appendix D provides a chart
of control codes as they are implemented on three Epson printers, the
MX III, the FX, and the RX; a discussion of the differences follows the
chart.
Appendixes E through H provide information
on other printing
needs: E covers defaults and DIP switches, F
gives
troubleshooting
advice, G summarizes how to combine print modes, and H gives ideas
for customizing your printer and its programs.
Appendixes I through K concentrate on technical aspects of the
hardware: maintenance, specifications, and the parallel interface.
A complete table of contents for this volume begins on the next
page.
For your convenience, there is an index at the end of each volume
covering the complete two-volume set. You can therefore find all the
references to any topic in either one.
