Character Set

The TravelMate 2000 Computer character sets are identical to the IBM Code Pages for DOS version 4. 0 1.
This section shows the character sets for Code Page 437 (United States), 850 (Multilingual), 860
(Portuguese), 863 (Canadian-French), and 865 (Nordic), with the decimal and hexadecimal codes for each
character. The five character sets contain differences in the international, symbol, and graphics characters
above decimal code 128 (extended ASCII characters).

Note:

The extended ASCII characters which are not on the keyboard (128 to 255 decimal) can be

displayed at the MS-DOS prompt, and in many application programs as follows. Holding down the Alt
key, type the ASCII decimal code for the character using the keys with numbers in their front face with the
Fn key held down or with the Num Lk key on. Release the Alt key and the character is displayed on the
screen. Your printer may or may not print these extended characters, depending on the type of printer you
have. Refer to the character code tables in your printer manual.
