Appendix A ASCII Codes and Character Fonts This appendix provides information about the way the ASCII codes are employed on the FX printers and about the character fonts associated with those codes. The first section summarizes the codes. The second section displays, in ASCII order, the decimal number, the hexadecimal number, a printout, and an enlarged dot matrix for each character in the two fonts that you can access directly: 1. the Roman font for the USA character set (decimal 32-126) 2. the Italic font for the USA character set (decimal X0-254) Also included here is the pair of fonts for the international characters, which you access indirectly: 3. the Roman font for international characters (decimal 0-31) 4. the Italic font for international characters (decimal 128-159) ASCII Codes and International Characters To use a character or one of the control codes specified in the third column, you use the BASIC character-string command, CHR$(n), where n represents the decimal number shown in the first column. You cause the code to be sent to a device by using another command; the most common command for sending a code to the printer is LPRINT. For more on this subject, see Chapter 2. 253

Appendix A
ASCII Codes and Character Fonts
This appendix provides information about the way the ASCII
codes are employed on the FX printers and about the character fonts
associated with those codes. The first section summarizes the codes.
The second section displays, in ASCII order, the decimal number, the
hexadecimal number, a printout, and an enlarged dot matrix for each
character in the two fonts that you can access directly:
1.
the Roman font for the USA character set (decimal
32-126)
2.
the Italic font for the USA character set (decimal
X0-254) Also
included here is the pair of fonts for the international characters,
which you access indirectly:
3. the Roman font for international characters (decimal 0-31)
4.
the Italic font for international characters (decimal
128-159)
ASCII Codes and International Characters
To use a character or one of the control
codes specified in the third
column, you use the BASIC character-string
command, CHR$(n),
where n represents the decimal number shown in the first column. You
cause the code to be sent to a device by using another command;
the
most common command for sending a code to the printer is LPRINT.
