A DEC LA210 printer contains two variations of DEC character sets: one
called the 7-Bit DEC and the other the 8-Bit DEC. Although only one
character set can be the DEC default character set, you can assign
national-use character map(s) to each of them.
You specify national-use character maps in G0 through G3. (DEC refers
to G0 through G3 as graphics maps.) When the printer is turned on, G0 is
automatically assigned to either:
•
The 7-Bit DEC Character Set
•
The lower half of the 8-Bit DEC Character Set (G2 is automatically
assigned to the upper half of the 8-Bit DEC Character Set
*
)
You can specify one of 12 default national-use character maps or a
multilingual character map for each graphics map.
*
Although these power-on defaults cannot be changed, G0, G1, G2, G3 can be re-assigned,
after
turning on the
printer, by using DEC control commands. (G0 can only be assigned to data bytes 0-127.)
