n1 and n2 specify the number of succeeding characters to be printed from this set. The total number of characters to be printed from an All Character Character Set is equal to "n1 + (n2 x 256)". An All Character Character Set is constructed from an IBM Code Page. (See Appendix D.)

*ESC \ enables you to print continuously from an All Character Character Set. ESC ^ is valid for printing one character only. Both commands enable printing of characters for data bytes normally recognized as control codes. See Appendix D for charts of character sets.
