SYMBOL SETS/CODE PAGES
C
This appendix contains a listing of the symbol sets, code pages,
and extended character sets the printers support.
Use the charts in this appendix to convert dot sequences from the
image dot pattern to codes you can use in the fields. Use the
Binary to Hex Conversion Chart to convert Binary dot sequences
to Hexadecimal numbers for bitmap files. Use the Dot to Run
Length Encoding Chart to convert dot sequences to alphabetic
characters for bitmap files.
Supported Symbol Sets and Code Pages
The printers support these symbol sets and code pages: Internal,
ANSI, Bold, OCRA Character Set, DOS Code Page 437 and 850.
Additional Code Pages are supported with downloaded TrueType
or Double-byte fonts.
The printer defaults to the internal symbol set. See "Defining the
System Setup Packet" in Chapter 2 to change the symbol set.
The CG Triumvirate fonts support only the ANSI and DOS Code
Page 437 and 850 Symbol Sets. These fonts print a slashed zero
when using the ANSI symbol set. However, the scalable font does
not print a slashed zero or support Code Page 1256 (Arabic).
Internal Use this symbol set to print international monetary
symbols, the trademark (

) symbol, and for
formats that may be used on other MPCLII
printers.
ANSI Use this symbol set with proportionally spaced
fonts.
DOS Code
Pages 437 or 850
Use this symbol set for extended and international
characters with proportionally spaced fonts.
