IBM ALL CHARACTER CHARACTER SET

IBM emulation has a standard character set called the "all-character character set."

The all-character character set consists of the active character set and a temporary overlay (Pages D-48 and D-49). The overlay temporarily maps over the control codes in Columns 0 and 1. Pages D-50 and D-51 show the temporary all-character overlay used with the IBM #2 Multilingual Character Set.

The IBM control command to temporarily apply the overlay is

ESC \ (n1) (n2). The two-digit decimal number "n1n2" specifies the number of characters to be printed from the all-character character set. After the specified characters, the printer reverts to the active IBM character set.

Note: The all-character character set is available only in the IBM emulation. ESC \ (n1) (n2) is ignored in the IBM mode of the Epson emulation.
