Expand Printable Code Area
This function allows certain ASCII codes (00h to 1Fh) and codes (80h to
9Fh) to be printable when the variable n is set to the value of 1. This al-
lows the use of these codes for user-defined characters. If n = 0 , the func-
tion returns these two ranges of characters to non-printable control codes.
A user-defined character set must be selected by ESC “ %” (1), the Enable
Printing of Codes 128-255 function, before these codes can print. In both
ranges, only the following codes can redefine as printable characters. Codes
not listed, within the range (00h–1Fh), print as standard control codes.
Codes not listed, within the range (80h-9Fh), are converted to a control
code in the range of (00h-1Fh), by subtraction of 80h. Note this function is
only useful with the default SBCS character set.
