Readability disclaimer
Many factors can affect the readability of bar codes and optical character recognition (OCR) characters,
including printer settings, such as Print Resolution, Toner Darkness, and Print Darkness. In addition, choice
of print media can significantly affect the readability of bar codes. See
Using the printer menus
and
media guidelines
for information on printer settings and print media considerations to help optimize the
readability of printer bar codes and OCR characters.
Before purchasing any specific solutions, print a sample of OCR characters or bar codes on your print media.
Then, verify readability with the actual devices that will be used to read them.
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 6 emulation, 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 83 symbol sets for the resident PCL 6
emulation fonts.
