P–Series	SFCC V	SFCC 56	SFCC 86
Serial	ESC V	1B 56	27 86
Purpose	Allows you to define and download a character substitution table and place it within
	the 224 printable symbol code points.
Expression	SFCC V is followed by ASCII characters:
	{QQQ}E{AAA}E{SSSSS}E

NOTE: Each parameter is visually separated by paired brace symbols for clarity in distin- guishing parameters. Do not input these brace pairs in the command sequence.

where	E is the terminator following each numeric field.
	{QQQ} represents the decimal value between 0 and 255 identifying the number of
	entries in the substitution table. No leading zeros are required for one– and two–dig-
	it entries. Each entry consists of:
	{AAA}, representing the decimal value between 0 and 255 identifying the ad-
	dress code that will cause the substituted character to print. No leading zeros
	are required for one– and two–digit entries.
	{SSSSS}, representing the decimal value between 0 and 65535 identifying the
	symbol point in the Printronix standard Character Library (page 9–4). No lead-
	ing zeros are required for less than five–digit entries.
Comment	The character substitution table is valid only for the current base character set. You
	cannot access the character substitution table from within another character set or
	after changes have been made to the current character set. You can substitute any
	symbol within the Character Library (page 9–4) into any printable symbol code
	point.
	If {AAA} is the same value as a control character, the control character takes prece-
	dence, and printing of that value does not occur. If the Space (20 hex) is substituted,
	unexpected results may occur, including decreased print speed.
	Once defined and downloaded by this control code, you can save the table created
	by this control code into printer power–up configuration and selected from the host
	interface or the control panel. When selected from the host, Download a Language
	is accessed using SFCC RX (Character Set Select: International Languages). When
	selected via control panel, the message display reads “DOWNLOADED,” and a
	configuration printout reads DOWNLOADED in the international language sec-
	tion of the printout.
