The following figure shows all the characters included in the most common symbol set,
HP Roman-8.
Figure 4. 2. Roman-8 Symbol Set
In addition to a large selection of bitmap and scalable fonts, the printing system supports
many symbol sets (also referred to as
character sets ). The variety of Kyocera supported
symbol sets can be attributed to the numerous printer emulations. Most of those symbol
sets are the same regarding the letters of the alphabet, digits, and basic punctuation
marks, but they differ considerably in their special symbols which lie in the upper half of
the character code table, consisting of character codes 128 through 254 (hex 80 through
FE).
Charts for the available symbol sets in each emulation appear in Chapter 7 .
Only the resident fonts can be assigned with a new symbol set. All downloaded fonts
contain specific symbol sets.
International Characters
The INTL (print INTernationaL characters) command provides quick access to printing
characters from a different character set, characters not found in the default symbol set
(US ASCII). By simply using the INTL command with appropriate parameters for lan-
guage and country code, the Kyocera user can access a wide variety of specific charac-
ters.
The following sequence selects the ISO-4 U.K. symbol set for the Swiss721BM8-Roman
font in the HP LaserJet emulation:
!R! UNIT P; CMNT Emulation must be HPLJ;
FONT 13;
INTL 3, 1; CMNT ISO-4 U.K.;
EXIT;
The U.K. symbol set is identical to the US ASCII character set except that it has the
pound currency symbol (\P) in place of the number sign (#).
It should be noted that the symbol set selected by INTL is specific to the currently emu-
lated printer (HP LaserJet in the above example). If the current emulation is changed to
Diablo 630 for the example above (by a SEM command, for example), the INTL com-
mand selects the Diablo U.K. symbol set instead of HP ISO-4 U.K. symbol set.
Selecting HP Symbol Sets
The HP LaserJet emulation has considerably more supported symbol sets than can be
accessed through the INTL command. To establish a symbol set, use one of the follow-
ing commands.
