HP Emulation Mode
To select a resident font, you can use your application program as
described in the section on selecting a font with your application
program in Chapter 4. You can also select resident fonts using
SelecType (the font source and font number menus described in
Chapter 2) or printer commands.
Symbol Sets
In HP emulation mode, the EPI-4000 allows you to use a variety of
symbol sets, which provide you with international, legal, and other
special characters. Many of these symbol sets differ only in the
international characters specific to each language.
To select a symbol set in HP emulation mode, you can use your
application program or the SelecType symbol set menu described in
Chapter 2. You can also select symbol sets using printer commands.
This section provides character tables for a representative sample of
the symbol sets available in HP emulation mode. The tables show
both the characters and their hexadecimal values.
To find the hexadecimal value for a character, find the character on
the table. Move to the top of the column for the first digit of the
hexadecimal character. Then move to the far left of the row for the
second digit. For example, the character “Z” has a hexadecimal
value of 5A.
To find the decimal value for a character, determine the
hexadecimal value for the character. Then use the table at the end of
this chapter to convert the hexadecimal value to a decimal value.
Note: The ID number under the symbol set name provides the
unique portion of the escape sequence needed to select that
particular symbol set.
