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:
32*47674Scaelif it is set, the device is assumed to have a 64-character set or
33*47674Scael.Pf half Tn -ASCII
34*47674Scaelmode,
3520674Smckusickrather than a full 96-character set.
36*47674Scael.Pp
37*47674ScaelIf the 64-character set is assumed,
38*47674Scaelany lower case characters are mapped to upper case; left curly and
39*47674Scaelright curly braces are mapped to left and right parentheses over
40*47674Scaellaid with a hyphen; grave accents are mapped to acute accents
41*47674Scaelwith overlaid with a hyphen; the pipe bar character is mapped
42*47674Scaelto an exclamation sign overlaid with a hyphen; and the tilde
43*47674Scaelcharacter is mapped to a carat overlaid with a hyphen.
44*47674Scael.Pp
45*47674ScaelThe default page width is 132 columns; longer lines are
46*47674Scaeltruncated.
47*47674ScaelThis may be overridden by specifying, for example,
48*47674Scael.Ql flags 256 .
