Sixel Graphics

While PPL3 emulation is backward compatible with PPL1 and PPL2 commands, it is not recommended that the user mix commands from different levels of the PPL emulation.

Coded Characters

Character processing within the PPL3 emulation is broken down into several categories of characters.

C0 Control Set: 00H-1FH (0-31 decimal).

GL Graphics Characters: 94 graphic characters in the range of 21H-7EH (33-126 decimal) referred to as the left-hand graphics set.

C1 Control Set: 80H-9FH (128-159 decimal).

GR Graphics Characters: 94 graphic characters in the range of 10H-FEH referred to as the right-hand graphics set.

Special Characters: This are outside of the other ranges described and consist of the characters represented by the hexadecimal values 20, 7F, A0, and FF.
