Accented (International) character sets

(n = Oto 10)
Hex
1B 52 nh
(nh = 01to0Ah)
The 120D + can print accented characters from nine
languages by redefining up to 12 of the standard ASCII
codes to accommodate the accented characters and special
symbols used in each language. There are eleven
international character sets available.
NOTE:
In the IBM Graphics Printer configuration, ESC R
clears all horizontal and vertical tabs (htabs and vtabs). See
Chapter 6 for details.
To select a particular set of characters, send ESC R followed
by the ASCII code number for the set you want. The values
of n are shown in Table 4-5.
