= SUMMARY =

To access the All Characters character set on the IBM Proprinter XL24 from within Word, use the following sequence to print a single character:


 * 1) ALT+27 (ESC)
 * 2) ALT+94
 * 3) ALT+

The character may appear different on the screen, but will print out correctly. Documentation can be found in the IBM Proprinter XL24 manual.

The All Characters character set doesn’t contain any control characters except for the space (SP) control character located at ASCII position 32. With this character set, characters 0 (zero) through 31 can be printed out rather than being used as control codes.
