To select a symbol set code for your secondary font, flip the parenthesis:
<ES0 ) n
and for n substitute your choice from the codes above.
Selecting the current or default symbol set
Your printer can use either the primary or the secondary font as its current
font. And that current font has its current symbol set. Your printer also
remembers its default font and symbol set, which are Courier with Roman-
8 (unless you’ve changed their initial parameter values through the front
panel menu).
The following command lets you select one of those symbol sets for your
primary font.
<ESC> ( n @
For n enter one of the following selection values for your primary font:
n VALUE

3

Similarly, you can select either the default or the current symbol set for your
secondary font. You also may want to use the same symbol set for both
primary and secondary fonts.
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:
