Selecting a Symbol Set or Code Page ––––––––––––––––––––––––––

These printers default to the Internal symbol set. You can
select a different symbol set. See "Defining the System Setup
Packet" in Chapter 3 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, print the trademark symbol (Standard
font only).

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. The CG
Triumvirate fonts and the scalable font (Font #50) support only
the ANSI and DOS Code Page symbol sets. These fonts print
a slashed zero when using the ANSI symbol set. The scalable
font does not print a slashed zero.

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:

1,"~142"
