Japanese Language Specifications
These settings are enabled only in STAR Page Mode and when Japanese language characters are installed.
When the SHIFT-JIS dedicated mode is selected, if the reception data is 0x20-0x7F, 0xA0-0xDF, the printer processes this
as a one byte code. If the reception data is 0x81-0x9F, 0xE0-0xEF, the printer processes it as two byte codes with the
subsequent data.
When the SHIFT-JIS/JIS mixed mode is selected, reception data is always processed as two byte codes.
