Before selecting a character set, remove the printer’s battery and wait several
seconds. Then, replace the battery and immediately use one of these
commands to select the character set to modify.
When it receives either of these commands, the printer copies the character set
to memory, then sends a ‘?’ character to the host.

The printer returns any characters not accepted as part of this command.

NOTE: Do not send any commands to the printer between turning it on and

selecting the character set.
