Chapter 4 EMULATION

Primary Character Set

You can select one of 92 pre-defined character sets by ID (although

character sets range from 0 - 109, not all sets are available on the

Compaq series printer), or you can select pitch, symbol set, and

typeface individually. If the combination you choose matches one of the

92 predefined sets, the ID submenu will reflect that selection. If not, the

ID menu will display “xx” to indicate that the current character set does

not match a pre-defined set. Set 0 is the default and its attributes are 10

cpi, Data Processing typeface, and Roman 8 symbol set.

Secondary Character Set

Your printer can store an additional character set. To toggle between

them, send the Shift In (Decimal 15, to select the Primary character set)

or Shift Out (Decimal 14, to select the Secondary character set)

command code.
