This appendix contains a listing of the symbol sets, code pages, and extended character sets the printers support.

Use the charts in this appendix to convert dot sequences from the image dot pattern to codes you can use in the fields. Use the Binary to Hex Conversion Chart to convert Binary dot sequences to Hexadecimal numbers for bitmap files. Use the Dot to Run Length Encoding Chart to convert dot sequences to alphabetic characters for bitmap files.

The printer supports these symbol sets and code pages: Internal, ANSI, Bold, OCRA Character Set, DOS Code Page 437 and 850. Additional Code Pages are supported with downloaded TrueType or UNICODE (double-byte) fonts.

The printer defaults to the internal symbol set. See "Defining the System Setup Packet" in Chapter 2 to change the symbol set.

The CG Triumvirate typefaces support only the ANSI and DOS Code Page 437 and 850 Symbol Sets. These fonts print a slashed zero when using the ANSI symbol set. However, the scalable font does not print a slashed zero or support Code Page 1256 (Arabic).

Internal	Use this symbol set to print international monetary
	symbols, the trademark () symbol, and for
	formats that may be used on other MPCLII
	printers.
ANSI	Use this symbol set with proportionally spaced
	fonts.
DOS Code	Use this symbol set for extended and international
Pages 437 or 850	characters with proportionally spaced fonts.
