Setting Up a Compuprint 970 or 4/6x 
Setting Up a Compuprint 970 or 4/6x
The Compuprint 4/6x is an 18-pin dot matrix printer with serial and parallel interfaces. The printer type COMPU960 is used for printing from R/3. The driver STN2 is set for printing from the SAPscript word processing system.
The printer definition requires that the printer be operated in the EPSON mode. You can set this on the printer control panel. The printer type COMPU960 specifies its own printer code page (character set) 1119. This character set also contains other European special characters in addition to the German umlauts.
The Compuprint 970 and 1070 printers are more advanced models that also work with the COMPU960 device type. The SIGNUM 2076 and Compuprint 9068 18-pin dot matrix printers should also work with this device type, as they support the same EPSON emulation.
Configuration Notes
The emulation mode must be set to EPSON. As the 4/6x printers do not offer a control sequence for setting the line mode, the printer device format therefore also contains no escape sequence for setting the line mode. You must therefore make this specification by hand at the printer control panel.
