SUMMARY
=======

The extended or international ANSI characters set (character values 128 through
255) is supported on the Epson LQ printers listed below:

  LQ-500
  LQ-2500
  LQ-850
  LQ-1050

No other LQ printer models catered by EPSON24.DRV support the extended
characters.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Other Epson LQ printer models do not provide support for these characters, and
the characters are not available to Windows when printing with the resident
fonts of the printer.

NOTE: This limitation applies only to printer fonts; raster fonts print the
extended characters. Screen fonts provided by Windows also print the extended
ANSI characters above 128.
