Selecting an International Character Set

Selecting an international character set provides you with the characters and symbols used in other languages. By setting the DIP switches, you can select one of eight international character sets.

To select an international character set, set DIP switches 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 according to the table below. This table shows the characters in each international character set.
