Star Micronics 4111 manual Example Symbol set commands

To do these tasks, you can send the following command to select which symbol set you want for your secondary font:

<ESC> ) n @

For n enter one of the values from this table:

n VALUE	SELECTION
O(zero)	Selects the default symbol set
1 (one)	Selects same symbol set as primary font
2	Selects the current font’s symbol set
3	Selects all the default font’s attributes (not just
	symbol set)

Example: Symbol set commands

Let’s take a short look at how you use these commands. Here’s the scenario: You are already using the Line Printer typeface, but want to use the German symbol set as you are writing a report for your Berlin office and need umlaut characters for several names in the report.

Then in the report you decide to use a proprietary product name, so want to nip out to grab the @symbol on a legal cartridge font you’ve already loaded, then return to your German set. When your report’s all done, you want to return the printer to its Roman-8 default.

Here are the commands that will do the job for us:

<ESC> ( OG

(you start your report here)

<ESC> ( IU @ <ESC> ( OG

(you finish your report here)

<ESC> ( O@

If you had finished with <ESC> ( 3@ the printer would return to its standard Courier font, not just its Roman-8 symbol set.
