In addition to the eight character sets you can select with DIP
switches, you can select the five character sets shown below using
the ESC R software command. See the Command Summary in
Chapter 8 for more information.

Page length
When DIP switch 2-1 is on, the page length is set to 12 inches.
When the DIP switch is off, the page length is 11 inches. Page
lengths other than 11 or 12 inches can be set with the ESC C and
ESC CO commands. See the Command Summary in Chapter 8.
Printing speed in draft mode
When DIP switch 2-2 is off, high-speed draft is selected. When the
DIP switch is on, normal draft is selected. This setting only affects
the printer if DIP switch 1-5 is set for draft mode (see page 3-15)
or if draft is selected through your software. If NLQ is selected,
the printer ignores the printing speed selected for draft mode,
since a slower printing speed is required to print the
higher-resolution characters.
High-speed draft prints at 533 characters per second but produces
characters that are not as fully formed as the ones produced with
normal draft. If you select a feature such as emphasized,
double-strike, or italics in high-speed draft mode, the printing
speed will temporarily switch to normal draft speed until the
enhancement is turned off. This allows you to use any print
enhancement without cancelling high-speed draft.
