The number at the top of each column in the tables is the ASCII
code that prints the characters in that column.
Once you have selected an international character set with the DIP
switches or the ESCape “R” code, you can use the tables to see which
characters on your standard USA keyboard will produce the interna-
tional characters you want. Simply type the character from the top
row of one of the figures in order to print the corresponding character
in the row of the set you have chosen. For example, if you have reset
the DIP switches for the UK character set and you press the # key,
the £ symbol will be generated. Even though you will see the #
symbol on the screen, the £ symbol will be printed on the paper. For
another example, if you have selected the Swedish character set and
you press the @ key, the É symbol will be generated.
If your keyboard does not have one of the keys that you need, you
will have to send the proper ASCII number to the printer in another
way, such as a programming language or inserted or embedded codes.
