Set Sharing

This option allows character sets to be shared between the active
LP+ protocol and the active IGP emulation. If CT is installed and
active, choosing a character set in the CT activates that character
set in the active IGP and LP+ protocols. (These changes will not be
visible on the front panel.) If Set Sharing is not selected, only the
LP+ will share the CT's character set.
Switching host interfaces from CT to Centronics when the Set
Sharing is enabled will cause the LP+ character set to be activated
to the same character set of the active IGP, if possible.
In a non-CT system, changing characters sets in LP+ causes the
active IGP to change to the same character set if the selected set
exists in IGP. If the active IGP has no access to the selected set, no
changes are made. Selecting a new character set in the active IGP
causes the LP+ to change to the same character set if the selected
character set exists in the active LP+ protocol. Not all sets are
shared between emulations in the Standard group of character
sets. As a result, selecting a set in the Standard group of LP+ or
either IGP emulation may or may not cause the other emulation to
have the same set.
