SYMBOL SETS/CODE PAGES C
This appendix contains a listing of the symbol sets, code pages, and extended
character sets the printer supports.
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 Unicode (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.
Selecting a Symbol Set or Code Page
The CG Triumvirate™ typefaces 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. Fonts 15-18 are only for 300 dpi and do not support Code
pages 0, 1, 437, and 850.
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.
