MS-DOS

= SUMMARY =

The Epson FX-86e is the same printer as the FX-85 except that it uses the IBM Extended Character Set in its upper set (128-255) of ASCII characters.

The FX-80 and FX-85 use an italic version of the lower (32-127) ASCII characters in their upper set. The FX-286e is a wide-carriage FX-86e.

Both printers are supported by the EPSONFXE.PRD file. This driver is listed in the Setup program, but was left out of the “Microsoft Word Printer Information” manual. The driver provides the same font support as the EPSONFX.PRD file, which is described on Page 24 of the manual.

In Word versions 5.00 and 5.50, both printers are supported by the printer driver EPSONFX.PRD.
