Define Symbol Set - HP PCL 5 Reference Manual

Define Symbol Set

This command defines the characters and character mapping for a
user-defined symbol set.
Default = n/a
Range =
If a user-defined symbol set is already present in the printer and a
new, valid symbol set is downloaded with the same Symbol Set ID
Code, then the old symbol set is deleted. If an internal symbol set with
the same ID code exists, it is overridden by the new symbol set. If the
symbol set definition is invalid, the command is ignored. If there is
insufficient memory to create the symbol set, the symbol set is
discarded.
Note
Send the Symbol Set ID Code command prior to the Define Symbol
Set command to assign an ID code for the user-defined symbol set. If
the Symbol Set ID Code command is not sent, the last code sent is
used. If none have been sent, then the default (0) is assigned.
The data format for the user-defined symbol set is shown in
Table 10-1.
