BJ-10e Character Sets

In BJ-10e mode, your printer supports two IBM code pages:
USA code page 437 and Multilingual code page 850. Each code
page has three character sets: Character Set 1, Character Set 2,
and All Characters Chart.

You select the code page by setting DIP switch 9 -- OFF for
code page 437, ON for 850. You select the character set by
setting DIP switch 5 -- OFF for Character Set 1, ON for
Character Set 2.

Each code page corresponds to an All Characters Chart. For the
All Characters Chart, there are no control codes except for the
space codes at ASCII 32. All other ASCII characters are
printable. The All Characters Chart is selected by the ESC ^ or
the ESC \ code.

Character Set 1 has control codes in two places: one between
ASCII 0 and ASCII 32 and the other between ASCII 128 and
ASCII 159. Character Set 2 has control codes only between
ASCII 0 and 32. All other ASCII characters are printable.

The three character sets for each code page are shown on
following pages.

NOTE: A control code is an unprintable character that the
printer uses for printer operations, such as line spacing or
carriage return.
