Problem

Symptoms: Customer reports that when printing in high quality in WP that the Epson FX-80 printer does a double pass. His printer is capable of doing "emphasized" print for high quality. If the customer puts in the codes: [27] "E", the printer responds correctly. Solutions: We use double strike for high quality and emphasized print for bold on most of these older printers. If the customer prefers emphasized and has changed the PRS file then I think they should continue doing it that way. It is a matter of opinion which should be used for quality and bold however, and will probably remain the way it is currently. To change the printer driver to switch into NLQ mode: 1. Go into PTR and retieve in the EPFX80.PRS file. 2. Press Enter on the Printer name. 3. Go down to Fonts and press Enter twice. 4. Go down to Load Select Strings and press Enter. 5. Go down to Select Font and press Enter. 6. Press F9 7. Go to SETQ3 and press Ctrl-Enter. 8. Change SETQ3 so that it reads: IF(QUALITY) [27]"x"[1] ELSE [27]"x"[0] ENDIF 9. Exit out and save. The [27]"x"[1] is the code to set most dot-matrix printers to NLQ and [27]"x"[0] sets them to draft. *This information is given strictly as a troubleshooting option.
