Example of a conversion

Printer type: Mannesmann mt910
Required character: ÿ = ISO8859-1 code 255

Assume that the bshell is running in character set ISO8859-1, the character ÿ is represented with code 255.

To print the entered (required) character on a Mannesmann mt910 printer, the printer output table must contain the following line:

\255 y\b\168

For this reason, the ÿ character is printed as follows:

[y] <Backspace>["]
y \b \168
