The following chart depicts the Extended ASCII character set that can be used in the IBM PC environment. These characters occupy DECIMAL numbers 128 through 255. The characters may change slightly depending upon the CODEPAGE used. Characters reflected herein are dependent upon the US CODEPAGE set.

These characters are typically entered by holding down the ALT key, and typing the DECIMAL value of the character on the NUMERIC key pad. Some ASCII text editors allow simple provisions for inserting certain Extended ASCII characters, particularly the "Line/Box Drawing" characters.

In an IBM/Microsoft Windows environment, these characters may not be displayed properly unless the Print Driver selected can support these characters. Many of the Epson Print Drivers CAN support these extended characters.

Special Postscript programs can generate these characters to Postscript print devices.
