Configuration Menus 4–77
Character Set
The first level of this menu selects which group of character sets will be used. To use
one of these sets, choose the desired group heading (such as European Sets) and
press ENTER. Then choose the desired set within that group (such as 8859–2 Latin
2) and press ENTER. By moving down in the menu and scrolling through the list of
European sets, a different set may be chosen by pressing ENTER. Character sets
are shown in detail in the Character Sets Reference Manual .
Alternate Char Set
This option determines if data in the range of hex 80 through hex 9F should be
interpreted as a control code or as a printable character.
•
Set 1 interprets data in the range of hex 80 through hex 9F as a control
code.
•
Set 2 prints data for the characters at hex locations 03, 04, 05, 06, 15
and 80 through 9F.
20 CPI Condensed
Compressed print characters are narrower than the normal character set. This is
helpful for applications where you need to print the maximum amount of
information on a page.
•
Enable prints characters about 60 percent the width of normal
characters when compressed print is chosen by the host computer.
•
Disable will not compress print widths, even if condensed print is chosen
by the host.
