2920674SmckusickThe unit number of the printer is specified by the minor device
3020674Smckusickafter removing the low 3 bits, which act as per-device parameters.
3120674SmckusickCurrently only the lowest of the low three bits is interpreted:
3247674Scaelif it is set, the device is assumed to have a 64-character set or
3347674Scael.Pf half Tn -ASCII
3447674Scaelmode,
3520674Smckusickrather than a full 96-character set.
3647674Scael.Pp
3747674ScaelIf the 64-character set is assumed,
3847674Scaelany lower case characters are mapped to upper case; left curly and
3947674Scaelright curly braces are mapped to left and right parentheses over
4047674Scaellaid with a hyphen; grave accents are mapped to acute accents
4147674Scaelwith overlaid with a hyphen; the pipe bar character is mapped
4247674Scaelto an exclamation sign overlaid with a hyphen; and the tilde
4347674Scaelcharacter is mapped to a carat overlaid with a hyphen.
4447674Scael.Pp
4547674ScaelThe default page width is 132 columns; longer lines are
4647674Scaeltruncated.
4747674ScaelThis may be overridden by specifying, for example,
4847674Scael.Ql flags 256 .
