Epson Character Sets
These commands allow selection of the type of characters that are printed
in the upper half of the Epson character tables. All of the available
character sets can be found in Appendix B.
The normal character set duplicates the characters in positions 32 to 127 in
italic style in the upper half of the set. The international characters are also
available in italic printing when this set is selected.
The line graphics character set has various graphic and mathematical
symbols present in positions 160 to 255, the upper half of the character set.
Code Area Expansion
This allows access and printing of characters stored in the ASCII areas 0
to 31 and 128 to 159 that are normally reserved for control codes. (See the
Unassigned Codes table in Appendix B). Resetting the code expansion
command returns the ASCII areas 0-31 and 128-159 to control codes.
The control areas from 128 to 159 and 255 (decimal) can be opened to give
access to the international characters that are stored there (see the
following Code Expansion Area table).
Note:
The access to 128-255 is also influenced by the
setting of the MSB.
