How to Use the Charts
To determine
the
hexadecimal number that prints a particular char-
acter, find the character in one of the tables; then look at the top of its
column and at the beginning of its row. The number at the top of the
column is the first digit of the character’s hex code, and the number at
the beginning of the row is the second digit of the hex code.
For example, find the capital Z in the Epson Draft chart on the next
page. At the top of its column is 5 and at the beginning of its row is A.
Therefore the hex code for a capital Z is 5A.
Converting hexadecimal numbers to decimal numbers
If you prefer to use decimal numbers instead of hexadecimal num-
bers, you can convert them with the chart below. Just read down in
the column for the first digit of the hex number and across in the row
for the second digit. Where the two intersect is the decimal number
that corresponds to your hex number. For example, to find the deci-
mal equivalent of hex 5A, look where column 5 intersects with row A.
There you will find decimal 90.
