Select Character 1: Selects character 1 for the character filtering option.

values are from 0 through 255 (decimal).
v 0 (the default)
v 0 - 255 (decimal)
Data Bit 8:
v Enable (the default). The PI line is not passed directly from host to printer; all 8
bits are used for data bits, and characters in the X'80' - X'FF' range can be
accessed.
v Disable. When the host PI line is enabled, indicates PI line status. To use the PI
line, disable data bit 8, and enable the Host PI configuration option.
Note:
Data bit 8 is interpreted as either data bit 8 or PI signal, but never both.
When enabled as data bit 8, data bit 8 has priority over the PI signal, and all
data above X'7F' is used to access character data and not to interpret PI line
data.
Conversely, when data bit 8 is disabled and the PI signal is used, data bit 8
of the data is reserved for use as the PI function, and you cannot access
characters in the X'80' - X'FF' range. Therefore, to access characters in the
X'80' - X'FF' range, data bit 8 must be enabled.
