Code Page Order of Precedence

When a print job is sent to a PCL printer, the PCL print filter:

  • Checks the Bar Code font support (F986166) table to determine if the report contains barcode information.

    If the report includes barcode information, it prints the report using a barcode character set.

  • Checks to determine if multiple code pages are enabled (PRTPCLSymbolSet=*AUTO).

    If multiple code pages are enabled, it analyzes text strings from the report to determine the code page.

  • Checks the PRTLocalCodeSet setting and uses the code page indicated by the setting.

  • Uses the code page associated with the user's language preference.
