Codepages

Resident Bitmap Fonts

The Resident Bitmap fonts don’t use different codepages; the characters are mapped at predefined positions, defined in the table below.

See the print samples in Appendix C in the ‘Class Series Programmers Manual’ for the reference characters.

Valid ASCII Characters for bitmap fonts:

Font	Valid ASCII Characters (decimal)	Euro
		Char
0	32-127	255
1, 2	32-168, 171, 172, 225	255

Scalable Fonts

The scalable fonts allow codepage selection through the System Command <STX>ySxx, and the Label Formatting Command ySxx, where xx is a two letter CP Identifier.

Note that on Datamax, not all fonts have an entire compliment of character codes for a given code page.

The default codepage is (PT) PC-8 TK, Code Page 437T.

See table below for an overview of the available codepages. Additional info and print samples can be found in the ‘Class Series Programmers Manual’, Appendix E and I.
