character table.
The two tables are shown in the Epson FX-850 section of the appendix at the end of this manual.
Set n to 0 to select the italic character table. Character codes in the range 160 to 255 are now italic
characters.
Set n to 1 to select the extended character table. Character codes in the range 128 to 255 are now foreign
language and graphics characters.
You can still print italic characters using the Select Italic Mode, Esc 4, command even when you have
selected the graphics character table.
