Selecting Character Tables
Most of the time you can select character tables using your
application software. If you can’t select them with your
software, follow the instructions here to select one of the
printer’s internal character tables.
You can select a character table using default-setting mode
(as described on page 5-3) or printer sofware commands (as
described on page 5-17). Each character table is identified by
the code shown beneath the sample, beginning on the next
page.
Note:
You can use a mouse
with the utility if you have
a DOS mouse driver
installed.
Note:
Some tables contain the
same characters for hex
codes 00 to 7F as the
PC437 table, so these
samples list only
characters for codes 80
to FF.
