Character Tables

These character tables are selected with the default-setting mode or by wing a software command. AU the tables are the same for hex codes 00 through 7F. Therefore, only first table is shown completely. The rest of the tables show only the characters for hex codes 80 through FF.

For all character tables except the italic character table, the ESC 6 and ESC 7 software commands let you select whether hex codes 80 to 9F are characters (EX 6) or control codes (ESC 7).
