The printer defaults to the Internal symbol set. You can
change the symbol set by changing the symbol set parameter
in Record A. Refer to Chapter 5, "Configuring the Printer," for
more information.
Selecting the Internal Symbol Set
Use this symbol set when you want to:
✦ use the international monetary symbols
✦ create formats that may be used on other MPCLII-
based printers
✦ use monospaced fonts: Standard, Reduced, Bold, or
OCRA-like.
Selecting the ANSI Symbol Set
Use this symbol set when you want to use proportionally
spaced fonts.
Selecting the 437 or 850 Code Page
These code pages provide extended and international
characters and use proportionally spaced fonts.
Entering Extended Characters ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
When using extended characters in your batch data file, type a
tilde in front of the three-digit code. For example, if you want
to include the character Ä in a text field using the Internal
Symbol Set, type:
