HP 5961-0509 manual

When selecting an ID code, select one which is not being used currently. (If an ID code is selected which is already being used in the printer, that symbol set is redefined.) The first step in selecting an ID code is to determine an ID selection value. Since it may be difficult to determine which ID selection values are being used, it is best to select one which has not been assigned. Refer to Appendix C in the PCL 5 Comparison Guide to select a number/letter (ID selection value) combination which has not been assigned.

After the ID selection value has been determined, use the conversion formula (shown above) to convert the ID value to an ID code.

To create a user-defined symbol set:

1Identify the symbols (symbol index numbers) for the symbol set from the MSL or Unicode list in Appendix D of the PCL 5 Comparison Guide. List them in the appropriate character code order.

2Identify the symbol collections (and Character Requirement bits) that contain the symbols (Appendix D of the PCL 5 Comparison Guide).

3Identify the Define Symbol Set command header information.

4Identify a symbol set ID selection value and convert it into its symbol set ID code.

5Designate the ID code using the Symbol Set ID Code command.

6Download the symbol set header data and MSL or Unicode numbers using the Define Symbol Set command.

To print using the symbol set, it must be selected using the Select Symbol Set command - EC(ID, where ID is the symbol set ID selection value used to calculate the symbol set ID code.
