for Windows supports East Asian characters.
• When there is a mixture of double-byte and single-byte characters, the half-width characters are left-
aligned.
• Dashes are displayed horizontally. Symbols representing voiced and semi-voiced sounds of single-byte
characters are shown as follows.
• When using text displayed according to values of devices, the characters are counted as single-byte
characters and the display area for the characters is indicated by dotted lines. Therefore, when the text
to display according to values of devices is double-byte characters, the display area actually required
differs from the area indicated by the dotted lines.

vertical size of the dotted lines is displayed as 2 single-byte characters.
