Selecting the character set

Function:

Using ESC t (n), one of the following character sets of the complete upper cha-

racter table is selected:

– Italic character set (n= 0)

The upper character table contains the italic characters of the current cha-

racter set (draft, LQ or defined by the user). The upper control code table

contains control codes (identical to those of the lower control code table).

– Graphics character set (n= 1)

The complete upper character table contains graphics characters and inter-

national special characters.

– Character set defined by the user (n= 2)

The upper character table contains the characters defined by the user. The-

se characters can be used simultaneously with the standard characters

(ROM) without switching character set. For this, 128 must be added to each

code assigned with ESC & when defining the characters.
