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.
