DBCS Mode (Select)

ASCII Code FS &
Hex Code 1C 26
Dec Code 28 38
Purpose Places the printer in DBCS mode.
Comment All data received by the printer with the MSB set will be paired
with the next character which may or may not be a DBCS
character. If the pair constitutes a 2-byte code which falls within
the defined DBCS character set range, a DBCS character will
be printed. Otherwise, the characters will be treated individually
and printed accordingly. Control codes which normally can be
applied to a non-DBCS mode typeface will not have an effect.
This command will set the DBCS/ASCII mode in the front panel
to DBCS mode.

DBCS Mode (Cancel)

ASCII Code FS .
Hex Code 1C 2E
Dec Code 28 46
Purpose Cancels the effect of the FS & command and places the printer
in single-byte character mode (ASCII). The typeface will remain
the same.
Comment Control codes which are not valid for DBCS mode but sent
while in DBCS mode will take effect after the changeover.
This command will set the DBCS/ASCII mode in the front panel
