When using extended characters in your batch data file, type a tilde in front of the three-digit code. For example, if you want to include the character Ä in a text field using the Internal Symbol Set, type:

1,"~142"

Symbol sets 100, 101, 852-860, and 1250-1258 may only be used with the scalable font (font#50) or downloaded TrueType fonts. TrueType fonts are designed to be regionally specific; therefore, all symbol sets may not be supported in a given font. For example, to print Hebrew characters, you need to find a font (such as Arial) that supports Hebrew characters; convert, and then download the font to your printer. Make sure the correct symbol set for Hebrew characters is selected.

Font 50 does not print the slashed zero or support Code Pages 101 (Wingdings) and 1256 (Arabic). The Euro-dollar symbol at position ~192 is only available in the Standard, Reduced, and Bold fonts.

Code pages 102-107 contain thousands of characters, which are not represented in this manual. These code pages require the 6032 print engine memory expansion option and a downloaded International TrueType font.

The Code Pages (100 and greater) on the following pages were printed using Arial or a similar downloaded TrueType font. To determine the character code, add the column number and row number for the character. For example, to produce the # character with the ANSI character set, you would press Alt 255 (column 15 + row 240).
