SYMBOL SETS/CODE PAGES
This appendix contains a listing of the symbol sets, code pages, and extended
character sets the printer supports.
Use the charts in this appendix to convert dot sequences from the image dot pattern to codes
usable in the fields. Use the Binary to Hex Conversion Chart to convert Binary dot sequences to
Hexadecimal numbers for bitmap files. Use the Dot to Run Length Encoding Chart to convert dot
sequences to alphabetic characters for bitmap files.
Supported Symbol Sets and Code Pages
The printers support these symbol sets and code pages: Internal, ANSI, Bold, OCRA Character
Set, DOS Code Page 437 and 850. Additional Code Pages are supported with downloaded
TrueType or Unicode (International) fonts.
The printer defaults to the internal symbol set. See “Defining the System Setup Packet” in
Chapter 2 to change the symbol set.
Selecting a Symbol Set or Code Page
The CG Triumvirate™ typefaces support only the ANSI and DOS Code Page 437 and 850 Symbol
Sets. These fonts print a slashed zero when using the ANSI symbol set.
Internal Use this symbol set to print international monetary symbols, the
trademark (™) symbol, and for formats that may be used on other
MPCLII printers.
ANSI Use this symbol set with proportionally spaced fonts.
DOS CP 437/850 Use this symbol set for extended and international characters with
proportionally spaced fonts.
