Character
The AS~CII
code is used as standard the character code.
If the printer receives a character code not specified in the character code
table or not included on the print band, the code is changed to the space code
printed.
If a character code from X'AO' to X'FE' is received k 7-bit mode,
the Data Bit 8 signal can be ignored (regarded as 0) by setting, and a
character corresponding to each code from X'20' to X'7E' is printed.
