55 | The unit number of the printer is specified by the minor device |
56 | after removing the low 3 bits, which act as per-device parameters. | |
57 | Currently only the lowest of the low three bits is interpreted: | |
9903e566 CL |
58 | if it is set, the device is assumed to have a 64-character set or |
59 | .Pf half Tn -ASCII | |
60 | mode, | |
524947b3 | 61 | rather than a full 96-character set. |
9903e566 CL |
62 | .Pp |
63 | If the 64-character set is assumed, | |
64 | any lower case characters are mapped to upper case; left curly and | |
65 | right curly braces are mapped to left and right parentheses over | |
66 | laid with a hyphen; grave accents are mapped to acute accents | |
67 | with overlaid with a hyphen; the pipe bar character is mapped | |
68 | to an exclamation sign overlaid with a hyphen; and the tilde | |
69 | character is mapped to a carat overlaid with a hyphen. | |
70 | .Pp | |
71 | The default page width is 132 columns; longer lines are | |
72 | truncated. | |
73 | This may be overridden by specifying, for example, | |
74 | .Ql flags 256 . | |
