ESC = n1 n2 . . . nk

 

 

 

 

If C is the total number of characters

 

 

 

 

to be defined

 

 

 

 

B = (C x 13) +2

 

 

 

 

n1 = MOD(B/256)

 

 

 

 

n2 = INT(B/256)

 

 

 

 

n3 = 20 in all cases

 

 

 

 

n4 = the code of the first character to

 

 

 

 

be defined

 

 

 

 

n5 = 0 if the top 8 pins are used;

 

 

 

 

n5 = 128 for the bottom 8 pins

 

 

 

 

n6 = 0 in all cases

 

 

 

 

The values n7 through nk are the data

 

 

 

 

numbers that define the characters,

 

 

 

 

with 11 data numbers for each

Character Tables

These character tables are selected with the DIP switches or by using a software command.

All tables except the italic character table are the same as the PC437 table for hex codes 00 through 7F, so only the PC437 and italic tables are shown completely. The rest of the tables show only the characters for hex codes 80 through FF.

The tables with * after the table name are available in the European version only.
