SFCC V
ESC V
Allows you to define and download a character substitution table and place it within
the 224 printable symbol code points.
SFCC V is followed by ASCII characters:
{QQQ}E{AAA}E{SSSSS}E
E is the terminator following each numeric field.
{QQQ} represents the decimal value between 0 and 255 identifying the number of
entries in the substitution table. No leading zeros are required for one– and two–dig-
it entries. Each entry consists of:
{AAA}, representing the decimal value between 0 and 255 identifying the ad-
dress code that will cause the substituted character to print. No leading zeros
are required for one– and two–digit entries.
{SSSSS}, representing the decimal value between 0 and 65535 identifying the
symbol point in the Printronix standard Character Library (page 9–4). No lead-
ing zeros are required for less than five–digit entries.
The character substitution table is valid only for the current base character set. You
cannot access the character substitution table from within another character set or
after changes have been made to the current character set. You can substitute any
symbol within the Character Library (page 9–4) into any printable symbol code
point.
If {AAA} is the same value as a control character, the control character takes prece-
dence, and printing of that value does not occur. If the Space (20 hex) is substituted,
unexpected results may occur, including decreased print speed.
Once defined and downloaded by this control code, you can save the table created
by this control code into printer power–up configuration and selected from the host
interface or the control panel. When selected from the host, Download a Language
is accessed using SFCC RX (Character Set Select: International Languages). When
selected via control panel, the message display reads "DOWNLOADED," and a
configuration printout reads DOWNLOADED in the international language sec-
tion of the printout.
