Can anyone tell me how to software select the different international character sets on the hp thinkjet printer. You can set the hardware switches in the back to correspond to different inter. sets but for end users that may have to switch back and forth this is a bunch of trouble. Thanks for the help. Jack

There is no escape sequence to select the ISO sets that you can select with the dip switches. An alternative might be the Roman8, all switches down, character set. It has all the international characters defined. The catch is that the character codes are different than in the ISO sets.
