Chapter 4 Configuring the Serial Matrix Emulation with Control Codes

Extended Character Set

ASCII Code ESC 4

Hex Code

1B 34

Dec Code

27 52

Purpose

Accesses the extended character set in the range hex A0

 

through FF using codes hex 20 through hex 7F.

Comment

This code is used in 7-bit systems as if data bit 8 was set to 1.

 

For example, sending code hex 20 accesses the symbol at code

 

point hex A0. If a printable symbol is not available at the code

 

point, a space is printed.

 

ESC 4 is not cancelled by the next paper motion command.

Example

The following sample illustrates Extended Character Set.

Extended Character Set Cancel

(Primary Character Set Select)

ASCII Code ESC 5

Hex Code

1B 35

Dec Code

27 53

Purpose

Cancels Extended Character Set as selected by ESC 4, and

 

selects the Primary Character Set.

Comment

This code is used in 7-bit systems as if data bit 8 was set to 0. If

 

data bit 8 is disabled, this control code selects the range as if

 

data bit 8 is set to 0, and data is printed as characters from hex

 

20 through hex 7F.

Example

See the Extended Character Set example.
