You select the character set in one of two ways: with an ESCape code
or with a switch in the back of your printer. The ESCape code in
BASIC has the following format:
L P R I N T C H R $ ( 2 7 ) " R " C H R $ ( n )
in which n stands for the appropriate number from the list above. In
other words, the BASIC command to select the French character set
is
L P R I N T C H R $ ( 2 7 ) " R " C H R $ ( 1 )
The other method of selecting an international character set is with
the small switches, called DIP switches, in the back of the printer. If
you plan to use one of the international sets quite a bit, see Appendix
D for instructions for using the DIP switches.
Once you have selected a character set, whether you do it with the
ESCape code or the DIP switches, you will be able to print several
new characters. The character sets are shown in Tables 6-1, 6-2, and
6-3.
