Switching on italic print Character set commands
152 T5023/5023+ - Programming Guide
Switching on extended character set
Function:
The command ESC 6 influences the complete upper character table. The effect
of the command depends on the character set activated using ESC t (n):
– The upper character table contains characters defined by the user. In this
case, after entry of the command ESC 6, the upper control code table for
characters defined by the user can also be used. When defining the charac-
ters, the codes from hex 00 to hex1F must be assigned to these characters.
– The upper character table contains graphics characters. The upper control
code table is then occupied by further special characters.
– The upper character table contains italic characters. In this case, the com-
mand ESC 6 is ignored.
