SUMMARY

The extended or international ANSI characters set (character values 128 through 255) is supported on the Epson LQ printers listed below:

LQ-500
LQ-2500
LQ-850
LQ-1050

No other LQ printer models catered by EPSON24.DRV support the extended characters.

MORE INFORMATION

Other Epson LQ printer models do not provide support for these characters, and the characters are not available to Windows when printing with the resident fonts of the printer.

NOTE: This limitation applies only to printer fonts; raster fonts print the extended characters. Screen fonts provided by Windows also print the extended ANSI characters above 128.
