Character Tables
These character tables are selected with the DIP switches or by using a
software command.
All tables except the italic character table are the same as the PC437 table
for hex codes 00 through 7F, so only the PC437 and italic tables are shown
completely. The rest of the tables show only the characters for hex codes
80 through FF.
The tables with * after the table name are available in the European
version only.
