Selecting Primary and Secondary Sets
There are two ways to access the primary and alternate character sets. Once the primary and
alternate character sets are loaded, they can be accessed using the Shift In (SI, HEX 0F) and
Shift Out (SO, HEX 0E) codes to select the sets for actual printing; SI selects the primary set, and
SO selects the alternate set.
The second way to access the primary and alternate character sets uses the 8th bit to select
either primary or alternate set. To use this method, set the 8th Bit Parameter to Data in the
Configuration Menu. With 8th Bit set to Data, when the 8th bit is high, it performs the same
function as the SO Command; it selects the Alternate Character Set. When the 8th bit is low, it
performs the same function as the SI Command; it selects the Primary Character Set.
