 XYQUEST has developed printer files for the Hewlett Packard Super 8

and also describes the substitution table incorporated into them.

 SUBSTITUTION TABLE
 Each printer file contains the same substitution table, called 
8U-SUB. (A printed copy of this table is available on request.) The 
substitution table associates an ASCII character with a character in 
the Roman-8 (8U) character set. The ASCII character is what you see 
on the screen, and the Roman-8 character is what actually prints out. 
Whenever possible, the ASCII characters and Roman-8 characters match; 
however, the Roman-8 character set includes characters that are not 
part of the ASCII set.

 For example, the Roman-8 character set includes many foreign language 
characters that are not part of the ASCII set. The substitution table 
assigns an available ASCII character (one that you do not want to 
print) to each of these foreign language characters. Let's take a 
look at a specific case. The Roman-8 character set includes an 
uppercase U with a grave accent. This character is not an ASCII 
character (and therefore cannot be displayed on the screen), so we 
assigned ASCII character 190 to it.

 When you want to print the accented U, enter the ASCII representation 
of it.

    Type: Alt_Shift_190

 Result: The ASCII character 190 appears on the screen, but when you 
print your document, XyWrite substitutes the accented U.
