Resident Bitmap Fonts
The Resident Bitmap fonts don't use different codepages; the characters are
mapped at predefined positions, defined in the table below.
See the print samples in Appendix C in the 'Class Series Programmers
Manual' for the reference characters.

Scalable Fonts
The scalable fonts allow codepage selection through the System Command
<STX>ySxx , and the Label Formatting Command ySxx , where xx is a two
letter CP Identifier.
Note that on Datamax, not all fonts have an entire compliment of character
codes for a given code page.
The default codepage is (PT) PC-8 TK, Code Page 437T.
See table below for an overview of the available codepages. Additional info
and print samples can be found in the 'Class Series Programmers Manual',
