Fonts, Languages and Characters

Standard Languages and Character Sets

There are two ways to select a language or character set.

One method is by substituting certain characters in the lower half of the charac- ter set, such as # $ @ [ \ ] ^ ` { } and ~. This can be done by using the control panel Language selection, or through the emulation. The language substitu- tions available through the emulation differ by emulation.

The other method is by selecting an entire set of the characters (also called code pages) for the upper half of the character set. This can be done by using the control panel Character Set selection, or through the emulation. The character sets available through the emulation differ by emulation.

Language substitutions and character set selections are valid for all font styles except OCR-A and OCR-B. In the case of OCR-A and OCR-B, the only available options are DIN and ANSI, selected through the OCR Style selection on the control panel.
