Character sets
|
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The characters are stored in ROM in an ASCII-based order, with non-ASCII
|
|
|
|
|
characters filling the positions of control characters. The lower 7-bit
|
|
|
|
|
block contains the roman slant of the font, while the upper block has
|
|
|
|
|
the italic slant.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The printer supported different national character sets, which have some
|
|
|
|
|
glyphs reassigned to different code points.
