The LINE FEED/LOAD button lets you advance or load paper when the printer is off line. To feed your paper one line, press this button once. Hold the button down to feed paper continuously. To load paper, there must be paper loaded in the standby position in the selected tractor.
the paper to the desired position. See the section on adjusting the top of form position in Chapter 2. To reset the tear-off position, take the printer off line and press the TEAR OFF button to enter the tear-off mode and feed the paper to the tear-off position.
The FRONT/REAR button lets you select the front or rear tractor when the printer is off line. If you have been using paper loaded on one tractor, first remove the printed output before switching the tractor.
Using DIP Switches The DFX-5000 has two sets of DIP switches. DIP switches control a variety of printer functions such as page length and printing speed. DIP switch settings are shown in the DIP switch tables starting on page 3-10 and in the Quick Reference card at the back of this manual.
4. Open the DIP switch cover. 5. Use a pointed instrument, such as the tip of a pen or pencil, to turn the switch either on or off. A DIP switch is on when it is up, and off when it is down. Note: Always make sure that the printer is turned off before changing the DIP switch settings.
6. Close the DIP switch cover and replace the paper. 7. Turn on the printer to initialize the new settings. When you change a DIP switch setting, the new settings take effect only after you turn on or reset the printer. DIP switch tables The following tables show the settings for each DIP switch.
International character set Interface/Parity selection Interface type Parallel Serial Serial Serial Parity Odd Even None Switch 2-5 Switch 2-6 OFF OFF ON ON OFF ON ON Baud rate selection Using the Pri.
DIP switch functions The different features you can control with the printer’s DIP switches are described below. Condensed mode When DIP switch 1-1 is on, your documents are printed in condensed mode. Condensed mode reduces the size of your text characters to approximately 60% their normal width.
Slashed zero When DIP switch 1-2 is on, the printer prints slashed zeros (Ø). When the DIP switch is off, the printer prints open zeros (0). This feature is useful for clearly distinguishing between uppercase O and zero when printing documents such as program lists.
The Epson Extended Graphics character table and the italics character table are shown below. Epson Extended Graphics character table 3-14 Using the Printer.
Italics character table Input buffer The printer’s input buffer provides additional memory to free up the computer while you print large amounts of text or graphics. The input buffer is enabled when DIP switch 1-4 is off. To disable the buffer, turn DIP switch 1-4 on.
but you can select NLQ Sans Serif with the software command ESC k. See the Command Summary in Chapter 8. Draft mode produces lower-resolution characters at a fast printing speed. The DFX-5000 has two printing speeds for draft mode, draft and high-speed draft.
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.
The following printout compares the two printing speeds. High-speed draft Normal draft We’ve just seen your excellent ad for miniature zebras in a recent back issue of Trader's Times.
Interface type and parity If your computer is set up for serial communication, you need to change DIP switches 2-5 and 2-6 so that your printer and computer can communicate properly. These two DIP switches control the interface type and parity. (You may also need to select a different baud rate.
Using Your Printer With Application Programs Now that you’ve set up and tested the printer, you can start using it with your application programs. Most application programs let you specify the type of printer you’re using so that the program can take full advantage of the printer’s features.

by about 65% if you select condensed printing with a DIP switch. You can also select 12 cpi, condensed mode, or both with a software command. The table below shows you the number of characters that can fit on a line using these available options.
Chapter 4 Getting the Most from Your Printer Enhancing Your Printing ................... Print quality and fonts .................. Character pitch ......................... Character size ........................... Emphasized and double-strike printing .
Enhancing Your Printing Your printer’s DIP switches control the printing style of a whole document. Software commands, on the other hand, let you change anything from a single character to the entire document.
For NLQ printing, the DFX-5000 offers two fonts, Roman and Sans Serif. NLQ Roman is automatically selected when you select the NLQ mode with a DIP switch or with the software command ESC x 1. To select NLQ Sans Serif, you must use the software command ESC k.
Note: High-speed draft is available only with 10 cpi printing (the printer’s default pitch). Also, the only print enhancement that can be combined with high-speed draft is underlining. If other enhancements or character sizes are selected, the printer switches to normal draft speed.
Note: High-speed draft is available only in 10 cpi. If you select 12 cpi or proportional, the print speed temporarily switches to normal draft speed until 12 cpi or proportional is turned off. Character size Condensed and double-wide printing are two ways to change the width of printed characters.
Note: High-speed draft will temporarily switch to normal draft speed if condensed or double-wide printing is selected. Emphasized and double-strike printing Emphasized and double-strike printing give your documents added emphasis.
Italic printing You can use italic characters for special emphasis or as an alternative typeface. Some software programs let you select italics for the entire document, but with software commands you can select italics for a single word or phrase. Here is an example of italic printing: This is NLQ printing.
Sending Commands to the Printer This section describes how you can send commands directly to the printer, allowing you to take full advantage of your printer’s capabilities. ASCII codes Your computer communicates with your printer using a standardized set of numbered codes called ASCII codes (American Standard Code for Information Interchange).
Escape sequences Although there are more than 30 control codes available to control the operation of your printer, many more codes are required to run today’s sophisticated printers. Therefore, ASCII codes are grouped in sequences that represent certain functions.
Using the Command Summary The commands listed in the Command Summary consist of various combinations of ASCII codes. You can use either the ASCII characters or their decimal or hexadecimal equivalents. For example, the command to turn on subscript is ESC S1 in ASCII characters.
Selecting typestyles with Master Select Your printer has a special command called Master Select that allows you to choose many possible combinations of nine printing enhancements. To send Master Select codes to the printer, you must first choose the combination of features you want.
The variable n is a number that identifies the typestyle or combination of typestyles. To find the value of n, look at the Master Select table below and add up either the decimal or hexadecimal numbers for the features you want. Master Select table Feature Dec.
Consider these things when you use the Master Select command: l Master Select cancels any of the listed features that you do not set. For example, if you have already set 12 cpi, and you try to use Master Select to set emphasized double-strike only, the character width is reset to 10 cpi.

l Make sure that all protective materials are removed. If not, turn off the printer, remove the protective materials, and turn the printer back on. See the section on removing protective materials in Chapter 1. If the printer still does not print, disconnect the printer from the computer and try the self test described in Chapter 1.
The printout is spaced incorrectly l If all the text is printed on the same line, no line feed command is being sent at the end of each line of text. Turn DIP switch 2-4 on. l If the printer is inserting extra blank lines between lines of text, extra line feed commands are being sent.
l The printer may not be securely connected to the computer. Check both ends of the cable between the printer and the computer. l Your software’s font, page layout, printer port, or other printer settings may not be selected properly.
Paper does not feed properly The paper may not be mounted on the sprockets correctly. Make sure the sprocket holes of the paper fit correctly over the sprockets. Make sure the sprockets are positioned to match the width of your paper and that they are locked in place with their covers closed.
To use the data dump mode, follow these steps: 1. To enter the data dump mode, hold down the FORM FEED and LINE FEED buttons at the same time while you turn on the printer. 2. Next, run either an application program or one you have written in any programming language.

Using the Command Summary This chapter lists and describes all the commands available on the DFX. The first part of this chapter lists all commands in numerical order and gives the page number where each is fully described.
The simplest type of command consists of a single character to be sent to the printer. For instance, to print in condensed mode the code format is: ASCII code: SI Decimal: 15 Hexadecimal: 0F This code can be sent from a program by sending the code 15 directly.
Control Key Chart Some application programs can use control key codes for decimal values 0 through 27. The table below gives you the proper values. The Control Key column indicates that you press the control key at the same time you press the key for the letter or symbol in that column.
Commands in Numerical Order This section lists all the DFX commands, with their decimal and hexadecimal values. The numbers in the columns on the right are the page numbers in this chapter where a complete description of the command can be found.
