Epson Character Sets

Epson printers use five character sets. The IBM Graphics Code Page 437, IBM PC Multilingual code page 0850, OCR A, and OCR B character sets may be selected from the configuration menus. In addition, there is a unique Epson character set. The Epson character set (shown in Table 36) is basically the ASCII character set with the upper, non-ASCII set defined as italics, and the usually unprintable codes designated as international characters.

The international characters in 00-1F and 80-9F appear when you invoke control code "ESC I 1". You may use the Epson configuration menus described in your User's Guide(or the "ESC R" control code) to select an international character set. Table 37 on page 156 provides information on print mode support for each character set.

Normally, these characters are either blank or control codes. The implementation is that the control codes hide the non-italic international characters, even in hex 00 through 1F, and DEL. DEL conceals the non-italic slashed zero.
