special characters on hp71b + hp-il + 82162a ? Message #1 Posted by John Ioannidis on 26 Jan 2010, 5:12 p.m. I'm trying to do the HP41's equivalent of BLDSPC and ACSPC. I tried creating a character with CHRSET, it displays fine on the display (DISP CHR$(128)), but prints nothing when I do PRINT CHR$(128). What am I missing?

Message #2 Posted by Raymund Heuvel on 26 Jan 2010, 6:51 p.m., in response to message #1 by John Ioannidis Hi The 71B CHARSET characters are not equivalent to any printer. The format is 8 * 6 bits. The 82162A uses 7 bits for characters. Closest approach: use only 7 bits of the CHARSET character set. Assuming a 82162A, put the device in Graphics Mode, get the correct substring of CHARSET$ and send it to the printer. BR Raymund
