Characters
To determine which key on your computer keyboard that a TROY character or symbol is “mapped” to, simply
compare the ASCII number of the selected TROY character or symbol to the same ASCII number listed in the
Standard ASCII Character Map (shown on the next page) to determine which keyboard key can be used to
access the selected TROY character or symbol.
Some of the font sets provided on the TROY Font DIMM Printer and
Font DIMM Kit CD contain more characters or symbols than can be
“mapped” to the available keys on a standard computer keyboard. In
this case, these characters can be accessed by manually entering the
ASCII number (see example at right) designated for each character
(refer to the character tables on the following pages). The hexadecimal
number shown below the ASCII number is used for programming
mainframe computers.
To access a character or symbol that is not “mapped” to one of the keys on your Windows computer keyboard,
you can manually enter the ASCII number by holding down the
ALT key on your keyboard, entering the associated
ASCII number for the character you wish to access, and then releasing the ALT key.
NOTE: You must use the numerical keypad on your keyboard to enter the ASCII number. The number keys along
the top of the keyboard will not work for this application.
