Description
This set of commands chooses one of the six supported internal character sets or, if an
external character set is present, one of not less than 20 character sets.
• Character set 1 is defined as PC Code Page 858 (International).
• Character set 2 is defined as Katakana (Japanese).
• Character set 3 is defined as Cyrillic (Eastern European).
Note: The function where n is set to between 4 and 20 requires an External Memory.
Character sets 4 through 20 are only valid if extra character sets are present. Character
set selection is dynamic. Host software can switch between character sets at any time.
Switching between sets does not erase or change the display. This means characters
from multiple character sets may be on a display. The default character set is number 1,
