Each of the ten code pages, 437, 850, 852, 855, 857, 860, 863, 864, 865
and 869 can be changed to three character sets: Set 1, Set 2 and All
Characters Chart. The code page tables shown on the previous pages are
All Characters Charts.
Each of the 10 code pages corresponds to an All Characters Chart. For
the All Characters Chart, there are no control codes except for the space
code at ASCII 32. All other ASCII characters are printable. The All
Characters Chart is selected by using the ESC ^ or the ESC \ code.
Character Set 1 has control codes in two places:
• Between ASCII 0 and ASCII 31 (Hex 00h and Hex 1Fh)
• Between ASCII 128 and ASCII 159 (Hex 80h and Hex 9Fh)
Character Set 2 has control codes in only one place, between ASCII 0
and ASCII 31 (Hex 00h and Hex 1Fh).
A control code is an unprintable character that the printer uses for
printer operations such as line spacing or carriage returns.
