Character Tables The Control Panel
These character tables are selected with the default-setting
mode or by using a software command. All the tables are the
same for hex codes 00 through 7F. Therefore, only first table
is shown completely. The rest of the tables show only the
characters for hex codes 80 through FF.
For all character tables except the italic character table, the
ESC 6 and ESC 7 software commands let you select whether
hex codes 80 to 9F are characters (ESC 6) or control codes
(ESC 7).
The tables with an * after the table name are available in the
European version only.
