I think the previous HP responders have confused the Thinkjet
with the Quietjet.  I'm afraid the original Thinkjet only responds
to the HP printer commands, and only prints the "Roman-8" character
set.  There are no dip switches on my Thinkjet (except for the HPIB
address switches).  Printer commands that work with Epson generally
will NOT work with a Thinkjet.

The Quietjet is a newer, somewhat more-expensive machine that uses the
same ink cartridges as the Thinkjet, but has many improvements
including "Alternate Mode" (Epson emulation) and character set choices,
selectable by escape sequence or dip switches.

[Usual disclaimer-- my part of HP USES printers, but doesn't make
or sell them.]
