Symbol Sets
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 ф 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.
Use the symbol set commands to select the symbol sets (code pages) for your specific
language needs.
