3.3. Symbol set

3.3. Symbol set

A symbol set is the set of alphabetical and numerical characters and symbols the printer prints. Each character is assigned to a particular character code.

The page printer offers not only a large selection of bitmap and scalable fonts but also a large selection of symbol sets (also referred to as character sets). This is because the printers the Kyocera page printer emulates have a number of their own symbol sets for printing in different languages and other purposes. Most of those symbol sets are the same regarding the letters of the alphabet, digits, and basic punctuation marks, but they differ considerably in their spe- cial symbols which lie in the upper half of the character code table, consisting of character codes 128 through 254 (hex 80 through FE).

The symbol set selection can also be made from the printer’s control panel. See Mode Select Menu on the last page in this manual.
