National character sets

Bys electinga national character set, characters usedin other languages are ad-

Characters defined by the user in character tables

Symbols stored in character tables are printed on the basis of the respective

character code and the assigned dot pattern.

Example:

By means of certain ESC sequences any dot patterns can be defined anew and

assigned to a code of the basic character table. For example, a new alphabet,

symbols specific to a subject or individual graphics characters can thus be pro-

duced and printed instead of the standard character in each case.

The definition of such characters specific to the user will be dealt with in a sepa-

rate section. In principle the production of a new character or symbol isthe pro-

duction of a graphics pattern, for which the printer needs exact details as to
