The HP82240B printer has two character sets, Roman8 and ECMA. The up/down arrows are in the ECMA set. An ESC sequence can switch between the two character sets. But the above printout shows the HP-42S doesn't make use of it, I think it was designed for the HP82240A printer, which had only one character set.
