TN5250e Printer Commands Using IDB: Code Page 259 > Before/After
Code page 259 is a character set which only contains symbols and
signs. Most of the symbols and signs are not contained in the nor-
mal character set of the printer which means that they cannot be
used from AS/400 or iSeries.
With this command it is possible to switch to another character set
in the printer each time code page 259 is used. This can be used to
switch to a symbol character set or a special "symbol font" if it has
been downloaded to the printer.
It is also possible to select another font in the printer, e.g. a special
mathematical font.
The command is executed each time there is a switch
COD259 BEF
to code page 259 from another code page. It is not executed if code
page 259 is selected repeatedly.
The command is executed each time there is a switch
COD259 AFT
from code page 259 to another code page. It is not executed if the
previous code page was not code page 259.
The command corresponds to event 140 - 141.
Command:
COD259 <parameter> <data>:
COD259 DEL <parm>:
