    Symbol sets Introduction to symbol sets Your printer can access a variety of symbol sets. Many of these symbol sets differ only in the international characters specific to each language. Note: Since most software handles fonts and symbols automatically, you will probably never need to adjust the printer’s settings. However, if you are writing your own printer control programs, or if you are using older software that cannot control fonts, refer to the following sections for symbol set details.
