NOTE: The CG Triumvirate fonts and font 50 support only the ANSI and DOS Code 437 and 850 Page Symbol Sets. See Appendix C for more information.

Code pages 4 - 16 may only be used with downloaded TrueType fonts or the resident TrueType font, font 50. TrueType fonts are designed to be regionally specific; therefore, all code pages may not be supported in a given font.

Example {I,A,0,0,1,1,0 p }

Powers up the printer in the online mode, displays prompts in English, prints a separator after each batch, prints zeros with slashes through them, and uses the internal symbol set.
