Chapter 4 - Control Code Definitions For character values from 32 to 126 (20h to 7Eh): • When the default SBCS code page is selected, the selected international character set is printed. • When other SBCS code pages are selected, the character from the currently selected code page are printed. For the character value 127 (7Fh): • When the default SBCS code page is selected, a space is printed • When other SBCS code pages are selected, the character graphics symbol is printed. For character values from 128 to 255 (80h to FFh): • When the default SBCS code page is selected, the FX-86e Epson Character Graphics set is printed. • When other SBCS code pages are selected, the corresponding character is printed. Graphics Functions Eight-Pin Graphics Modes All 8-pin graphics functions require parameters, n1 and n2, which represent the length of the graphics string that follows the select graphics mode command, and are calculated using a temporary variable, n. • n = total number of graphics dots needed for the graphic string • n2 = integer of (n divided by 256) • n1 = remainder of the n2 calculation The simplest calculation, is to divide n (total number of dots needed for the graphics string) by 256. Then n2 is the quotient (the whole number) and n1 is the remainder. If you require less than 256 dots (columns), then n1 indicates the number of dots and n2 is set to zero. 6820 Series 80-Column Printer User Manual 69

Graphics Functions
Eight-Pin Graphics Modes
All 8-pin graphics functions require parameters,
n1
and
n2
, which
represent the length of the graphics string that follows the select
graphics mode command, and are calculated using a temporary
variable,
n
.
n
= total number of graphics dots needed for the graphic string
n2
= integer of (
n
divided by 256)
n1
= remainder of the
n2
calculation
The simplest calculation, is to divide
n
(total number of dots needed
for the graphics string) by 256. Then
n2
is the quotient (the whole
number) and
n1
is the remainder. If you require less than 256 dots
(columns), then
n1
indicates the number of dots and
n2
is set to zero.
