[net.micro] Epson FX-80 bug

I have found what seems to be a bug in my Epson FX-80.  In immediate mode
(<ESC>i1) setting the 8th bit on (<ESC>>) does not work.  With the 8th bit
on, ASCII characters sent to the printer should be printed in italics.  This
works in normal mode, but not in immediate mode.  The manual does not mention
any restrictions on what can be done in immediate mode.  
(This is not a serious problem since I dont use immediate mode much, just to
test new characters; and italics mode works okay in immediate).
