UnknownThe [[NLQ401]] uses a raw 7bit protocol so all functions are working with 7bit ports. Actually the printer does have an 8bit port, and does use standard Epson codes (which can include 8bit parameters), but the printer firmware strips the MSB immediately after reading data from the centronics port - so one is stuck with 7bit codes, even if one owns a computer with 8bit printer port. Restrictions on 8-pin graphics and numeric parameters are same as on DMP2000 (see there for details). Restrictions for 9-pin graphics and user defined chars don't apply (since the NLQ401 doesn't support these features).
