The printer automatically translates some character mappings to others. For
example, if you need a BIG5 font, it is possible to use Unicode text data.
Use Unicode in the symbol set parameter to indicate the text mapping and
select the BIG5 font needed in the font parameter (T8 or C5). The printer
automatically translates the Unicode character values into BIG5 values
before printing the character.
The following table lists the compatible mappings and symbol sets.

If you are unsure which character mapping to
select, use this symbol set, because the
printer automatically translates the character
mappings.
Note: UTF-8 is very common. We
recommend using it for compatibility
with different host applications and
data streams.
* Characters in batch data must be entered based on their mapping (Unicode,
BIG5, etc.).
