E-Class DPL Programmer’s Manual 133
Appendix I
Symbol Sets and Character Maps
Symbol Set Selection
Scalable fonts are mapped through a symbol set sometimes referred to as a ‘code page’. This mapping
allows the host application to select a variety of characters to match the application. For example in the
code page CP, character code 0xE4 causes character Φ to be printed. In code page E7, the character code
0xE4 causes δ to be printed. Each of the code pages allows the host application to “emulate” a character
set for their application. The code page (symbol set) is selected using a DPL Command, <STX>ySxx,
where xx is the two letter code page Identifier.
Note: Not all fonts have an entire compliment of character codes for a given code page (symbol set).
