Purpose

Selects the Extended Character Set and the print mode and pitch at which the ex-
tended character will print. This command is valid only in the ECMA–94 Latin 1
Extended Character Set; otherwise, this command is ignored.

Comment

The value n can be 1, 2, 3, or 12 to select the print mode/pitch combinations avail-
able from Table 6–5. All other values result in an error message. In OSET mode,
values outside the range in Table 6–5 produce an error message (Command Line
Error Messages are listed on page 6–3).

OSET is valid only when the ECMA–94 Latin 1 character set is selected from the
control panel. OSET is ignored if the IBM PC, Multinational, or DEC Multinational
Character Sets are active.

Extended characters print at the print mode and pitch selected by the OSET com-
mand, even if that mode and pitch differs from the currently selected print mode and
pitch. If the print mode differs between the extended and primary characters, the
first character in the data stream selects the print mode at which that line will print.
Different pitches can be printed on the same line.
