Since the printer identifies symbols by their symbol index number
(range from 0 to 65535), but receives character codes (range 0-255),
a relation must be made between the character codes and the larger
range of symbol index numbers. This relation is defined by the symbol
set mapping table.
The printer contains a symbol set mapping table for each available
symbol set. These tables list the character code range and
corresponding list of symbol index numbers. Using this mapping the
printer identifies which indexed character is printed for the character
code in the current symbol set.
A partial symbol set mapping table is shown in Table 9-1 for the
Roman-8 symbol set.
