Appendix B: Code Pages and Character Sets
BJ-l0e Mode
In BJ- 10e mode (IBM Proprinter X24E or Canon BJ- 130e emulation), the printer supports two 
IBM code pages - USA Code Page 437 and Multilingual Code Page 850. Each code page has 
three character sets: Set 1, Set 2, and the ALL Characters Chart.
Each code page corresponds to an ALL Characters Chart. For the ALL Characters Chart, there 
are no control codes except for the space code at ASCII 32. All other ASCII characters are 
printable. The ALL Characters Chart is selected only by ESC code.
Character Set 1 has control codes in two places: between ASCII 0 and ASCII 32 and also 
between ASCII 128 and ASCII 159. Character Set 2 has control codes only between ASCII 0 
and ASCII 32. All other ASCII characters are printable.
The three character sets for each code page are displayed in the following tables.
