Changing the Font Translation Table
If
you want the printer to print a character that does not ap-
pear on your computer keyboard, you can change the font
translation table to assign that character to another char-
acter that does appear on your keyboard. For example,
you could assign
ii
(decimal code 228
in
any font hav-
ing a QMS-Multilingual character set) to the left bracket
character (decimal code 91) or to any other character you
choose. (When reassigning characters you should choose
characters that you do not normally need during printing.)
To make this change to the font translation table, you
would send this command:
Ll?RINT CHR$(27):"[1;O;91;228 ... "
Important Considerations:
• When the printer is in Epson or Proprinter emulation
mode, the Font translation table is ignored. Any
modifications to the translation table will not affect
fonts selected during Epson or Proprinter emulation
mode.
• Modifications to the font translation table affect all
fonts selected during any other mode except Epson
and Proprinter emulation modes. All fonts, however,
do not have the same characters in the same loca-
tions. Refer to the tables in Appendix A for the cor-
rect locations of all characters in the resident fonts.
• If two or more people are using the same printer,
all users need to be aware of modified translation
tables.
