6.1 CHARACTER CODES AND COMMANDS

The character code range and user-defined character codes differ between when Kanji mode is selected
with the "Specify Kanji Mode" command (FS '&') after selecting JIS code system with the "Select Kanji Code
System" command (FS 'C'), and when Shift-JIS code system is selected.

6.1.1 JIS Code System

In order to print 2-byte characters by JIS code system, select JIS code system with the "Select Kanji Code
System" command (FS 'C'), and then specify 2 bytes character code after selecting Kanji mode with the
"Specify Kanji Mode" command (FS '&').
A command functions as character code of 1-byte code system character, or either of the 1st byte or the 2nd
byte of character code of 2-byte code system character.
When a command is input with a character code of 2-byte code system character, the next data is always
processed as the 1st byte. However, the next data is character code of 1-byte code system character for the
"Cancel Kanji Mode" command (FS '.').
When a command is input with the 2nd byte of character code of 2-byte code system character, the data up
to the 1st byte is ignored.
