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 to be printed. In CP E7, the character code 0xE4
causes to be printed. Each of the CPs allows the host application to “emulate” a character set for their
application. Datamax 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.
