Introduction to Symbol Sets
Your printer can access a variety of symbol sets. Many of these symbol sets differ only in the international characters specific to each language.
 |
Note: |
|
|
Since most software handles fonts and symbols automatically, you will probably never need to adjust the printer’s settings. However, if you are writing your own printer control programs, or if you are using older software that cannot control fonts, refer to the following sections for symbol set details.
|
|
When you are considering which font to use, you should also consider which symbol set to combine with the font. Available symbol sets vary depending on which emulation mode you use and which font you choose.
