148 Universal Control Commands

The 4100 printer emulates several printers, each of which has defined "standard" character sets, control code maps, and national-use character maps. Examples are Epson-German-ESC 6 and IBM #2-Code Page 437. Selecting these standard options can be done using the configuration menu or control commands described in other sections. Selecting these options modifies the data byte map as illustrated below.

2.Download some characters you design to RAM (temporary memory) and select some of the download characters to print by changing the character source to RAM.

3.Select a new emulation mode, overwriting any mapped characters and control codes but not the download characters.
