Numbers beginning with 0x… are treated as hexadecimal, all other as decimal. Any line
beginning with a non-numeric value is ignored. Any information after the Unicode value
is ignored. Not all of the ASCII ID’s need to be present, however, only ID’s present will
be affected.

There are two ways to select a codepage file. The first is by using the standard code
page select command. If this command is used, the file name is critical; it must follow
the format of Cpxyz.CPM. The xyz is the code page number that is being selected in the
command. For example CP850.CPM would be referred to as 850. If the legacy
commands are to be used to select file based code page mapping, the selection mode
must be selected in the printer’s configuration.

The second form is by name. This command is free form and will select any file present
which will then be to use it as a code page definition. If the file is not a code page file,
you will get unexpected results. If the file does not exist, the command is ignored. Any
extension may be used for a codepage map, however, it is best to use the .CPM
extension, with a descriptive filename recommended. For example ISO8859-1.CPM
would be a good choice for the ISO8859-1 code page.
