Configuring the Printer 2-7
Note: The Standard, Reduced, Bold, OCRA and HR fonts only support the
Internal Symbol Set (0). The CG Triumvirate™ typefaces only support the
ANSI (1) and DOS Code Page 437 (2) and 850 (3) Symbol Sets. The
scalable font (font#50) does not support Code Page 1256 Arabic (10).
Code pages 13-16 and 4-12 are for downloaded TrueType fonts or the
scalable font. Code pages 19-26 require the extended features printer and
a downloaded International TrueType font. TrueType fonts are designed to
be regionally specific; therefore, all code pages may not be supported in a
given font. See Appendix C, “Symbol Sets/ Code Pages” for more
information.
