Extended Character Set

ASCII Code SO SFCC SO SFCC n SFCC 4

Hex Code 0E SFCC 0E SFCC 6E SFCC 34

Dec Code 14 SFCC 14 SFCC 110 SFCC 52

Purpose Accesses the extended character set in the range hex A0

through FF using codes 32 through 127 (hex 20 through 7F).

Discussion Used in 7-bit systems as if data bit 8 was set to 1. For example,

sending code hex 20 accesses the symbol at code point hex A0.

If a printable symbol is not available at the code point, a space is

printed.

SFCC 4 is not cancelled by the next paper motion command;

SO, SFCC SO, and SFCC n are cancelled by paper motion.

Example The following sample illustrates the Extended Character Set and

Extended Character Set Cancel (see page 97) control codes.

Extended Character Set Cancel (Primary Set Select)

ASCII Code SI SFCC SI SFCC o SFCC 5

Hex Code 0F SFCC 0F SFCC 6F SFCC 35

Dec Code 15 SFCC 15 SFCC 111 SFCC 53

Purpose Cancels Extended Character Set as selected by SO, SFCC SO,

SFCC n, and SFCC 4, and selects the Primary Character Set.

Discussion Used in 7-bit systems. If data bit 8 is disabled, this control code

selects the range as if data bit 8 is set to 0, and data is printed as

characters from 32 through 127 (hex 20 through 7F).

Example Refer to the Extended Character Set example on page 97.
