The CG Triumvirate fonts support only the ANSI and DOS Code Page 437 and 850 Symbol Sets. The scalable font does not support Code Page 1256 (Arabic). See Appendix C, "Symbol Sets/ Code Pages" for more information. Code pages 852-860 and 1250-1258 are for downloaded TrueType fonts or the scalable font. Code Pages 932, 936, and 950 are for downloaded Double-byte fonts. TrueType fonts are designed to be regionally specific; therefore, all code pages may not be supported in a given font.

Example C,30,10,0,1,1,1,B,L,0,0,"MADE IN USA",0 p

Defines a constant text field starting at row 30, column 10. It does not have any additional inter-character gap. The Standard font is used without any additional magnification. The printing is black on white and left justified. No field or character rotation is used. "MADE IN USA" is printed in this field. The internal symbol set is used.
