Choosing a Character Table
Set DIP switch l-5 on to select the graphics character tables. Set it
off to select the italic character table. The graphics character table
depends on the settings of DIP switches
1-6, l-7,
and 1-8.
If you have an IBM
®
or IBM-compatible computer, select a
graphics character set when you wish to print character graphics as
they are displayed on the screen. Even if you select a graphics
character set, you can still print ordinary text and italics. For
italics, see your software manual or the description of the ESC 4
command in the Command Summary, Chapter 8.
You can also select the italics character set or a graphics character
set using the ESC t command. See the Command Summary in
Chapter
8.
