Purpose

To define and download an international language character substitution taĆ

ble which can be placed within the 224 printable symbol code points.

Expression

SFCC V is followed by ASCII characters: {QQQ}E{AAA}E{SSSSS}E

NOTE: Each parameter is visually separated by paired brace symbols for clarity in distinĆ

guishing parameters. Do not input these brace pairs in the command sequence.

where

E is the terminator following each numeric field.

{QQQ} represents a decimal value between 0 and 255 identifying the

number of entries in the substitution table. No leading zeros are required

for one- and two-digit entries. Each entry consists of:

{AAA} representing the decimal value between 0 and 255 identifying

the address code that will cause the substituted character to be

printed. No leading zeros are required for one- and two-digit enĆ

tries;

{SSSSS} representing the decimal value between 0 and 65535 idenĆ

tifying the symbol point in the Printronix standard Character Library

(page NO TAG). No leading zeros are required for less than 5-digit

entries.

Comment

The character substitution table is valid only for the current base character

set. The character substitution table cannot be accessed within another charĆ

acter set or after changes have been made to the current character set. Any

symbol within the Character Library in the Multinational Character Sets

chapter (including downloaded characters) can be substituted into any printĆ

able symbol code point.

If {AAA} is the same value as a control character, the control character takes

precedence, and printing of that value will not occur. If the Space (20 hex) is

substituted, unexpected results may occur, including decreased print speed.

Once defined and downloaded by this control code, the table created by this

control code can be saved into printer power-up configuration and selected

from the host interface or the control panel. When selected from the host,

Download a Language is accessed using SFCC RX (Character Set Select: InĆ

ternational Languages). When selected via control panel, the message display

will read DOWNLOADED," and a configuration printout will read

DOWNLOADED in the international language section of the printout.
