Description

STOP

In an 8 bit environment, the MTPL standard allows the use of 2 character sets at the same time. In this case each character set contains 94 and 96 characters respectively and can be allocated to the lower or upper half of the code table.

(Example: The control code SI activates G0 in the code range 21 - 7E and therefore loads G0 in the lower half of the code table - see also function “Activation of Character Sets” on page 79).

➊This function causes a character set with 256 characters to be loaded by the control codes SO, SI, ESC n or ESC o. Thus, the activation of character sets with the using of the codes ESC , ESC } and ESC ~ becomes ineffective.

This function can be used, for example, to activate a table of PC code page tables.

➋With this sequence, the function set by CSI ? 50 h is turned off. Thus, the activation of character sets with 94 and 96 characters becomes effective again.

If the setting “Character 8/0 to 9/F printable” is active (default setting) ESC [ ? 53 l has to be sent instead of CSI ? 53 l, because the CSI character is not accepted as control code.
