Re: Epson Printers(long message)
Well it seems that nobody has a New Epson...they now come with an
EXTREMELY well written manual. In addition to a tutorial style which
is very well written there is an excellent Appendix section which has
everything I could every ask for. Just a sampling:
Appendix B - Control Codes: ALL! of the control codes are listed.
Appendix R - GRAFTRAX+ ROM Set Installation Instructions: Do you
believe they actually tell you how to install the GRAFTRAX+
EPROMS(that's right - Epson uses EPROMS not ROMS - 3 2716s to be
exact). This installation procedure will allow you to upgrade ANY
MX80, MX80F/T, or MX100 to have GRAFTRAX+. I have an original MX80
and an older MX100(GRAFTRAX not +) which I have now upgraded and they
work fantastically!...To get copies of the EPROMS I just popped out
the ones from the new MX100(they are socketed) and copied them.
The options available are really nice...I would like to know what is
the reason for wanting to use the 128 ASCII character set for the
MX80F/T-what character should be printed for control-B for instance?
