table.)
Notes The factory default primary and secondary symbol set is Roman-8.
However, you may select a user default symbol set from the printer
control panel (see the printer User’s Manual).
If the font is a scalable typeface, symbol set is determined from the

different symbol set, send a symbol set selection command prior to
the Font Selection ID command. (Also see “Font Selection by ID
Command,” later in this chapter.)
