BJ mode

Each of the ten code pages, 437, 850, 852, 855, 857, 860, 863, 864, 865 and 869 can be changed to
three character sets: Set 1, Set 2 and All Characters Chart. The code page tables shown on the
previous pages are All Characters Charts.

Each of the 10 code pages corresponds to an All Characters Chart. For the All Characters Chart, there
are no control codes except for the space code at ASCII 32. All other ASCII characters are printable.
The All Characters Chart is selected by using the ESC

or the ESC \ code.

Character Set 1 has control codes in two places:

Between ASCII 0 and ASCII 31 (Hex OOh and Hex lFh)

Between ASCII 128 and ASCII 159 (Hex 80h and Hex 9Fh)

Character Set 2 has control codes in only one place, between ASCII 0 and ASCII 31 (Hex 00h and
Hex lFh).

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