Introduction

This chapter describes the standard character sets and provides information about their use in the Model 8900 Series Printers.

The printer can use any of several standard or optional character sets that can be selected via the operator control panel switches or via the host computer. These character sets provide all control characters and graphic characters necessary to implement the various printer emulation modes.

The standard character sets reside in the printer read-only memory (ROM), and the optional character sets can be plugged into one of the option ROM sockets on the printer logic board.

The following figure shows the printer character code table. The character code table is an area in the printer memory in which one 8-bit character set or two 7-bit character sets reside.
