Select Character Table

ASCII Code ESC t n

Hex Code

1B 74 n

 

 

Dec Code

27 116 n

 

 

Purpose

Selects the character table to be used for printing among the

 

two character tables described below:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

n = 0 or 48

 

 

Character table 0

0x80-0x9f Control code, 0xa0-0xff Italic

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

n = 1 or 49

 

 

Character table 1

0x80-0xff Printable code, IBM PC437

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where:

 

 

 

0 <= n <= 1, 48 <= n <= 49

 

 

 

Currently, the setting on the front panel of “Alt. Set 80-9F”

 

determines whether n = 0 would be treated as Control Code or

 

Printable Code. Thus, this determines the setting n = 1.

Comment

This command affects the front panel setting of “Character Set.”
