modes)** Codes 80h..9Fh and FFh act as mirror of control codes 00h..1Fh and 7Fh (this mirroring can be disabled via ESC "6")** Codes A0h..FEh are italic versions of 20h..7Eh* The DMP2000 (and up) supports '''all Epson FX80 control codes''', plus some additional ones:** ESC SO and ESC SI (mirrors of SO and SI) (for some reason, these mirrors are often supported by Epson-clones like Star LC10, though they are rarely found in official Epson specs)** ESC "x" n (select NLQ/Draft mode) (the original Epson FX80 didn't support NLQ, however, the ESC x command is found in other Epson models like LX80 and FX86e)** ESC "m" n (select IBM charset) (this seems the be an Amstrad invention, supported '''only''' by DMP3000/3160, '''not''' supported by DMP2000/2160, '''nor''' by real Epson printers, '''nor''' by Epson-clones like Star LC10).* Some one-digit parameters (like on/off flags) may be recognized both is binary chr(0xh) as well as ASCII chr(3xh). == International Characters ==
