Appendix I
Symbol Sets and Character Maps
Symbol Set Selection
Scalable fonts are mapped through a symbol set sometimes referred to as a ‘code page’. This mapping
allows the host application to select a variety of characters to match the application. For example in the
code page (CP), character code
0xE4
causes character Φ to be printed. In CP E7, the character code
0xE4
causes δ to be printed. Each of the CPs allows the host application to “emulate” a character set for their
application. Datamax-O’Neil printers that support scalable fonts contain either a standard or an enhanced
group of CPs as defined below. The CP (symbol set) is selected using a DPL Command,
<STX>ySxx
,
where
xx
is the two letter CP Identifier.
 Note: In the following table, “ √” indicates a full compliment of characters, “Part” indicates a partial compliment of
characters, and “X” indicates an absence of characters for the given code page.
