Italics and Graphics Characters
You can use this command to specify the set of characters which is to occupy decimal values 128 to 255
to be italics characters, special symbols and graphics characters, or custom characters you have stored
using the custom character commands (see page 101). When transferring the custom characters, this
command copies them from the lower ASCII set where you have them stored to a comparable location in
the upper ASCII set. For example, it would copy the custom characters you have stored under decimal
33 and 34 to upper decimal 161 and 162.If you want to use one of the IBM character sets, you must first
send the ESC t 1 command to select the graphics characters.You can also use the ESC 4 command (see
page 72) or the ESC ! n command (see page 81) to begin italics.
