Foreign language support

Printer use with foreign languages

When supporting a single-byte character set language, your printer must be able to support the appropriate DOS code page.

To support a double-byte character set language, your printer must be able to support the appropriate Windows code page. The required code pages are listed below.

Remember that not all Windows characters are available on DOS printers, so some characters are not supported on these printers.
