Character code
No character is defined for OOH~1FH, 80H~8FH and EOH~FFH in the Code Table
(APPENDIX-1).
Although the characters and graphics shown in the character code table for this plotter will be
displayed on the CRT or LCD, some of them may not be drawn by this plotter.
Characters which cannot be plotted will be ignored when sent from the computer. The
plotter resumes operation when it receives a character which it can draw.,
® Characters from 80H~9FH and EOH~FFH on the PC-5000, will not be plotted.
® Because DATA is transfered from the computer to this plotter by character codes instead
of character patterns, in some cases the results appear different from those shown on the
computer’s display screen.
Line feed code
The line feed code for this plotter is CR (ODH). If the line feed code for the computer in its
initial state is LF (OAH), change it to CR (ODH).

Automatic line feed
During operation in the TEXT mode, when the number of data items from the computer
exceeds the specified number of digits, this plotter automatically carries out a CR/LF and
continues operation. Therefore, if the end of the output data from the computer coincides
with the position of the automatic line feed during list printing or other operations, one line
is fed without any printing.
