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.
