Character Sets

The TravelMate 3000 Notebook Computer character sets are identical to the IBM Code Pages for DOS
version 4. 0 1. This appendix shows the character sets for Code Page 437 (United States), 850
(Multilingual), 863 (Canadian-French), and 865 (Nordic), with the decimal and hexadecimal codes for
each character. The four character sets contain differences in the international, symbol, and graphics
characters above decimal code 128 (extended ASCII characters).

Note: The extended ASCII characters that are not on the keyboard (128 to 255 decimal) can be displayed
at the MS-DOS prompt and in many application programs as follows. Hold down the Alt key, type the
ASCII decimal code for the character using the keys with numbers on their front face with the Fn key
also held down or with the Num Lk key on. Release the Alt key and the character is displayed on the
screen. Your printer may or may not print the extended characters. Refer to the character code tables in
your printer documentation.
