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.
