International Character Sets
Thirteen international character sets are available in Epson mode.
Eight of these are selected by DIP switches 1-6 to 1-8 and the remaining
five (Japan, Norway, Denmark II, Spain II and Latin America) can be
selected with the ESC R command, which is described in the
Command Summary. For the characters available in each character set,
see Appendix B.
In IBM printer emulation mode, you can select only two character
sets; the standard character set (Table 1) and the international
character set (Table 2). You can see the differences by looking at the
IBM character tables in Appendix B. There is also a command to let
you print any of the characters in the international character set and
several additional characters. Together these form the symbol set. The
