That is the point, Marco - I am not interested on any particular
documentation.
I am interested on all of them. Any documentation, related to any
printer, from any manufacturer. The idea is to provide as many encodings
as possible, for FreeDOS.
You see, I'm particularly interested on those hardcoded encodings
available, precisely, through the configuration of those dip-switches.
Not only Epson provided such feature on their printers. There were
printers from Citizen and other manufacturers on those days which also
had tables of characters hardcoded on them and available through
combination of dip-switches.
Thank you,
Henrique
