				SETTING COMMAND
[Name]
	Select Kanji character mode
[Format]	ASCII	FS	&
	Hex	1C	26
	Decimal	28	38
[Description]	Selects Kanji character mode.
	• Kanji character mode is selected when DIP switch 1-8 is ON (Taiwan mode).
	• Kanji character mode is canceled when DIP switch 1-8 is OFF (standard mode).
[Notes]	■ When the Kanji character mode is selected, the printer checks whether the code is for Kanji or not, then

processes 1-byte character, which has the same code as the first byte and the second byte if the code is for Kanji.

■ Kanji character mode should be selected when the power is turned on.

■ The printer supports the subset of the Big5 code system (Chinese font: 13053 characters) for Kanji character printing. If the printer processes a Kanji code that is not supported, the printer prints a space character.

Program Example

PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1C);”C”;CHR$(0);			← Select JIS code system
PRINT #1, CHR$(&H1C);”&”;			← Specify Kanji mode
PRINT	#1,	CHR$(&H34);CHR$(&H41);
PRINT	#1,	CHR$(&H3B);CHR$(&H7A); CHR$(&HA);
