Printing a Character

When an unbound font is selected for printing and a character code is

received, the printer accesses the requested symbol set mapping

table to identify the MSL or Unicode number. For example, if the

Roman-8 symbol set is selected and the printer receives character

code 254, the printer accesses the Roman-8 symbol set mapping

table (Table 9-1). In the Roman-8 mapping table, character code 254

is mapped to MSL number 191 or Unicode number 00b1

(plus-over-minus symbol). Thus, to print character code 254, the

printer searches the selected unbound font for the correct MSL or

Unicode number and prints that character.
