DCPS Version 1.6-1 Information
This section describes changes included in DCPS V1.6-1. You can find more
information for several of these changes elsewhere in these release notes.
8.1 DCPS Version 1.6-1 Changes
8.1.1 ISO Latin-9 Character Set Added to ANSI Translator
Support for the ISO Latin-9 (ISO 8859-15) character set has been added to the
DCPS ANSI translator. This character set includes the Euro symbol.
One way to print the Euro symbol is to include the following ANSI escape
sequences in your ANSI file:
<ESC>.b selects ISO Latin-9 character set
<ESC>n$ prints Euro symbol
In order to add the ISO Latin-9 character set, the DCPS ANSI translator has
been updated. If you are upgrading to DCPS V1.6-1 or later from a previous
version and want to print characters from the ISO Latin-9 character set, you
must power cycle your printer(s) after upgrading DCPS. This needs to be done
only once.
8.1.2 New Printer Support
DCPS V1.6-1 adds support for the Compaq Laser Printer LN16.
You can find more information in Chapter 4 of these release notes.
