Font selection commands
User-defined symbol sets
User-defined symbol sets can be used with Unbound scalable fonts. Three new commands below are prepared for
user-defined symbol set.
To define a symbol set, its ID code must be defined at first.
Next, a list of symbols for the symbol set must be downloaded.
Then, you can use the defined ID code for symbol set selection.
Symbol Set ID Code Command
Esc*c#R (27)(42)(99)#(82) <1Bh><2Ah><63h>#<52h>
• Value for # can be from 0 to 2047.
• This command defines the ID code for a user-defined symbol set which can be used to control symbol set
selection.
• The symbol set ID code defined by this command must be calculated by using the following formula.
Symbol Set ID Code = ( # x 32 ) + ( ID - 64 )
Symbol set selection values consists of numerical character(s) and alphabetical character.
For example, 8U is the symbol set selection value for Roman-8. In this case, the Symbol set ID code
is 277 as the result of the following calculation.
(8 x 32 ) + (85 - 64) = 277
• Make sure to select an unused number for a new ID code that you define. If the ID code has been used
already, the printer deletes the existing symbol set and defines the new symbol set.
