National character sets
By selecting a national character set, characters used in other languages are ad-
ditionally available to the user. The selection of national character sets results
via an ESC sequence or via the operating panel of the printer. These characters
replace in each case the corresponding encrypted characters in the basic cha-
racter table.
Examples:
Characters defined by the user in character tables
Symbols stored in character tables are printed on the basis of the respective
character code and the assigned dot pattern.
Example:
By means of certain ESC sequences any dot patterns can be defined anew and
assigned to a code of the basic character table. For example, a new alphabet,
symbols specific to a subject or individual graphics characters can thus be pro-
duced and printed instead of the standard character in each case.
The definition of such characters specific to the user will be dealt with in a sepa-
rate section. In principle the production of a new character or symbol is the pro-
duction of a graphics pattern, for which the printer needs exact details as to
