Other control codes are ignored. In particular, the escape code (ESC: character code 27)
is ignored. If the printing system receives the escape sequence ESC A, for example, it
ignores the escape code and prints the letter A. Therefore, this emulation requires PRE-
SCRIBE commands for controlling the printing system.
In font mode (FTMD) 15, the printing system automatically gives the innate character
spacing, line spacing, and page orientation for each bitmap font, and character spacing
and page orientation for each scalable font.
If a line overruns the right margin, word wrap occurs automatically in this emulation.
To set the power-up emulation for IBM Proprinter X24E, send the printing system the
following PRESCRIBE command sequence:
!R! FRPO P1, 1; FRPO P3, 1; EXIT;
The IBM symbol sets include IBM PC-8 plus international characters, mathematical
symbols, Greek letters, and graphic symbols, so you can print things like:
Symbol sets PC-850, PC-860, PC-863, PC-865, US ASCII, and Denmark allow all ruling
characters (hex B0 to DF) and underscore characters (5F) to be printed in the correct
pitch for creating continuous lines.
The symbol set may be selected with the INTL command or the operator panel keys. Per-
manent setting of the symbol set is made with the FRPO U6 and U7 commands but not
with the Proprinter escape sequences.
The following symbol sets list shows the support for the IBM emulation.
