Character Set - Roland DXY-1300 Command Reference Manual

3.6.2 Character Sets
The DXY-1000 series provides 19 kinds of character sets. These are capable of drawing
other character fonts besides English. Symbols and characters differ according to the

character set.

Please refer to Appendix C " Character Set Table" for the characters in each character set.
Selection of character set
Any two character sets you wish may be specified from the 19 character sets available to
the plotter: the standard character set and the alternate character set. The standard
character set is specified by the CS command, and the alternate character set by the CA
command. The character set number is specified by the parameter that follows the com­
mand. When there is no parameter after the command or when initialization (" DF" , "IN" )
has been commanded, both the standard and alternate character sets will be specified by
the character sets that were selected with the DIP switches.
The selection of the character set to be used in the label is performed by the SS and SA
commands. If the SS command is executed, the plotter will draw all subsequent
characters in the standard character set; if the SA command is executed, the plotter will
draw all subsequent characters in the alternate character set.
Here is a schematic illustration of the ideas in the above discussion.
If [SI]CHR$( 15) is sent during labelling command (LB) mode, the current character set
will be changed to the standard character set; if [SO]CHR$(14) is sent, it will be changed
to the alternate character set.
The letters (or symbols) inside the dotted boxes in Appendix C, "Character Set Table" ,
automatically execute
symbol to a letter, draw the letter first and only then draw the added symbols.
