Sets 0 through 10 are resident character sets. Sets 12 through 23 are reserved
spaces in font memory for future resident character sets. If a value from 12
through 23 is called when attempting to choose a character set, the character
font will default to ASCII. The last eight addressable character set values, 24
through 31, are reserved for user–defined sets. You can create custom
character sets from existing characters in font memory. If you select a set
value from 24 to 31 when no new character set has been created or assigned
that value, the character font will default to ASCII.
Refer to page 7–11 for printouts of the primary and extended character sets
and their corresponding values.
