Appendix I

Symbol Sets and Character Maps

Symbol Set Selection
Scalable fonts are mapped through a symbol set sometimes referred to as a "code page".
This mapping allows the host application to select a variety of characters to match the
application. For example in the code page (CP), character code 0xE4 causes character
be printed. In CP E7, the character code 0xE4 causes
the host application to "emulate" a character set for their application. Datamax-O'Neil
printers that support scalable fonts contain either a standard or an enhanced group of CPs
as defined below. The CP (symbol set) is selected using a DPL Command, <STX>ySxx, where
xx is the two letter CP Identifier.
In the following table, the checkmark symbol ( ) is used to indicate a full compliment of

characters, while "Part" indicates a partial compliment of characters and "X" indicates an
absence of characters for the given code page.
