Introduction

Congratulations! You’ve purchased the Epson LQ-1500TM. This

advanced, state-of-the-art printer combines the quality of typewriter

print with the speed of a dot matrix printer. Of course, it has all the

capabilities of the other Epson printers-and more too.

LQ-1500 Features

The LQ-1500 is designed to be used day in and day out in an office

environment. Its size and rugged good looks proclaim this fact. Its

Epson engineering guarantees it.

The LQ-1500 has a long list of features. Just a few of the highlights

include:

Letter quality printing. The LQ-1500’s 24-pin print head can print

letter quality characters in four widths.

Proportional letter quality printing. The LQ-1500 can print in two

widths of proportional letter quality characters.

Draft speed. The LQ-1500 can print at 200 characters per second

using the draft character set.

Two hundred and twenty-four printing styles. The LQ-1500 can

print in 224 different printing styles, not counting superscripts and

subscripts.

Upward compatibility. The LQ-1500 includes all of the major fea-

tures of the FX series of printers.

Userdefined characters. The LQ-1500 allows you to design your

own character sets, in either draft or letter quality mode.

High-resolution graphics. The LQ-1500 has all the graphics capabi-

lities of the FX series of printers and more. The 24-pin print head

provides top-quality, high-resolution graphics.

Text buffer. The LQ-1500 has a 2048 character text buffer to increase

printing speed. The buffer takes information quickly from your

computer, leaving the computer free for other tasks while the

LQ-1500 finishes printing.

About This Manual

The LQ-1500 is a sophisticated machine. Although it is simple to

operate, writing programs for it can be complicated. In many cases,

the people who use the LQ-1500 are not the ones who do the program-

ming. Therefore, Epson has provided two different manuals. This

LQ-1500 User’s Manual contains all the information required to set up

and operate, the LQ-1500. The LQ-1500 Programmer’s Manual con-

tains the information required to write programs for the LQ-1500.

Epson also supplies Application Notes that tell you how to use the

LQ-1500 with specific software programs.

The first three chapters of this manual will help you set up, operate

and maintain your printer. Chapter 4 contains information on how to

use control codes with your printer.

The appendixes contain helpful information about selecting print

styles and character sets, and about using control codes to command

certain printer functions. Appendix A summarizes the control codes.

Appendix B explains how to change from one print style to another

and shows examples of different print styles. Appendix C shows the

character sets available on the LQ-1500, including the regular and

international sets. Appendix D gives the dot width of each of the

available proportional characters. Finally, Appendix E, a convenient

conversion chart, provides all the possible names for each ASCII

code.

This user’s manual is not long, but it contains a lot of important

information. In spite of its simple design, the LQ-1500 is a precision

printer, and you should know the right way to assemble and take care

of it. Reading this manual will help assure you of success when you

begin to use the LQ-1500.
