Character Tables

The printer comes with an installed set of character tables. However, when printing from Windows and most DOS software programs, the printer prints the characters you see on screen and does not use its built-in character tables. Unless you’re printing from a DOS program, and cannot print the character you need, you should never have to change the character table.

Note:

You never need to select the printer’s character tables or fonts when using the printer with a Macintosh.

These character tables are selected using the printer’s Default setting mode or by using software commands.

All tables except the italic are the same as the PC437 table for hex codes 00 through 7F, so only the PC437 table is shown completely. The rest of the tables show only the characters for hex codes 80 through FF.
