Epson Character Sets 
Epson printers use five character sets. The IBM PC code page, OCR A, OCR 
B, and an extensive array of print language sets may be selected from the 
configuration menus. In addition, there is a unique Epson character set. The 
Epson character set (shown in Table 27) is the ASCII character set with the 
upper, non-ASCII set defined as italics, and the usually unprintable codes 
designated as international characters.
The international characters in hex 00-1F and hex 80-9F can be printed when 
you invoke control code ESC I 1. You may use the Epson configuration 
menus described in the 
User’s Manual 
(or the ESC R control code) to select 
an international character set.
Normally, these characters are either blank or control codes. The 
implementation is that the control codes hide the non-italic international 
characters, even in hex 00 through 1F, and DEL. DEL conceals the non-italic 
slashed zero.
