Symbol Sets

A symbol set is the collection of alphabetic and numeric characters, punctuation, and special characters available in

the font you select. Symbol sets support the requirements for different languages or specific applications, such as

math symbols used for scientific text.
In PCL 5/PCL 6, a symbol set also defines which character will print for each key on the keyboard (or more

specifically, for each

code point

). Some applications require different characters at some code points. To support

multiple applications and languages, your printer has 36 symbol sets for the resident PCL 5/PCL 6 fonts.
