Specifying input parameters

•The printing system accepts lowercase characters expressed literally or symbolically; that is, preceded by the pound sign

(#) functioning as a switch case operator.

The following table gives some examples of how the TCODE command may be coded to specify the following types of character sets.

	Table 2-51. Specifying various types of character sets
Type	Interpretation

3	Defines uppercase alphabetic characters (A through Z) by TCODE command.
4	Defines lowercase alphabetic characters (a through z) by TCODE command.
