HP 5961-0509 manual Roman-8 Symbol Index Mapping, 12Font Management

Since the printer identifies symbols by their symbol index number (range from 0 to 65535), but receives character codes (range 0-255), a relation must be made between the character codes and the larger range of symbol index numbers. This relation is defined by the symbol set mapping table.

The printer contains a symbol set mapping table for each available symbol set. These tables list the character code range and corresponding list of symbol index numbers. Using this mapping the printer identifies which indexed character is printed for the character code in the current symbol set.

A partial symbol set mapping table is shown in Table 9-1 for the Roman-8 symbol set.
