Section 9: Code Pages
Character Sets 1 and 2
The printer’s interpretation of code pages is based on whether character set 1 or
character set 2 is selected. Character set 1 is the factory default character set and
is printed if you do not specify otherwise. Character set 2 has foreign language
characters and fewer control words.
You can select a character set from Setup Mode or by using the Select Character
Set (ESC 6 or ESC 7) command.
Character set 1 has control codes located between:
• Hex 00 and hex 1F
• Hex 80 and hex 9F
Character set 2 has control codes located only between hex 00 and hex 1F.
The character sets contain a mixture of printer control codes and characters. The
boxes show how the printer will interpret single-byte codes, depending on
which character set you have selected. For example, hex 0A from code page 437:
