Software Utility 8-144
Adding Code Pages
The Code Page Utility permits users to add character sets or replace existing character
sets by flashing code pages into devices connected through a USB or RS–232C serial
port. The code page used can be a direct output from the Code Page Generator or a
predefined code page file which the user can load into the Code Page flasher.
To flash a code page into a device, perform the following steps.
1. Generate a code page using the Code Page Generator (refer to the “Generating Code
Pages” section for details). The output txt file is automatically loaded into the first
field under the File section.
Note: If you already have a code page txt file to flash, skip step 1 and select Browse
in the File field to load the code page file.
2. In the interface section, select the interface where your device is connected.
• USB—select this option if you are running a USB interface. The Com Port and
Baud Rate is grayed out.
• RS–232C (76/77 LD Only)—select this option if you are running an RS–232
interface. Set the correct COM Port from the dropdown list to match the COM
Port where the display is connected. The Baud Rate is set at the default 9600.
3. If you wish to replace an existing code page in the Additional list, select a code page
from the list. To add it to the next available slot in the list, leave the code page lists
unselected and proceed to the next step.
