Description

This code sequence causes the printout of the higher control codes (ASCII 128 to 159
and 255) in the form of characters and symbols instead of the repetition of the functi-
ons of ASCII codes 0 to 31 and 127.

For this function the Graphic character set must be selected by ESC t <1> or by menu
(see IBM Character Set 2, from hex.80 to hex.9F).

When the printer receives this code sequence, the ASCII codes 128 to 159 and 255
are used as duplicates of the functions of the lower control codes 0 to 31 and 127.

For character sets see Appendix B.
