Symbol Sets

A symbol set is the collection of alphabetic and numeric characters, punctuation,
and special characters available in the font you select. Symbol sets support the
requirements for different languages or specific applications, such as math
symbols used for scientific text.
In PCL 5/PCL 6, a symbol set also defines which character will print for each
key on the keyboard (or more specifically, for each code point). Some
applications require different characters at some code points. To support
multiple applications and languages, your printer has 36 symbol sets for the
resident PCL 5/PCL 6 fonts.
