Chapter 4 Fonts The following figure shows all the characters included in the most common symbol set, HP Roman-8. Figure 4. 2. Roman-8 Symbol Set In addition to a large selection of bitmap and scalable fonts, the printing system supports many symbol sets (also referred to as character sets). The variety of Kyocera supported symbol sets can be attributed to the numerous printer emulations. Most of those symbol sets are the same regarding the letters of the alphabet, digits, and basic punctuation marks, but they differ considerably in their special symbols which lie in the upper half of the character code table, consisting of character codes 128 through 254 (hex 80 through FE). Charts for the available symbol sets in each emulation appear in Chapter 7. Only the resident fonts can be assigned with a new symbol set. All downloaded fonts contain specific symbol sets. International Characters The INTL (print INTernationaL characters) command provides quick access to printing characters from a different character set, characters not found in the default symbol set (US ASCII). By simply using the INTL command with appropriate parameters for language and country code, the Kyocera user can access a wide variety of specific characters. The following sequence selects the ISO-4 U.K. symbol set for the Swiss721BM8-Roman font in the HP LaserJet emulation: !R! UNIT P; CMNT Emulation must be HPLJ; FONT 13; INTL 3, 1; CMNT ISO-4 U.K.; EXIT; The U.K. symbol set is identical to the US ASCII character set except that it has the pound currency symbol (\P) in place of the number sign (#). It should be noted that the symbol set selected by INTL is specific to the currently emulated printer (HP LaserJet in the above example). If the current emulation is changed to Diablo 630 for the example above (by a SEM command, for example), the INTL command selects the Diablo U.K. symbol set instead of HP ISO-4 U.K. symbol set. Selecting HP Symbol Sets The HP LaserJet emulation has considerably more supported symbol sets than can be accessed through the INTL command. To establish a symbol set, use one of the following commands. 4-14
