= SUMMARY =

The Canon LBP-8 Mark III printer driver, CANON8-3.PRD, initializes the Canon printer to use the IBMR1 graphics set. The registration and copyright characters are not available in the IBMR1 graphics set. However, these characters are available in the IBM850 graphics set.

The control sequences to select the two graphics sets are as follows:

Control Sequence Graphics Set —————- ————

^[)‘1 IBMR1 ^[)’3 IBM850

(Enter the  as a single space.)

The copyright and registration symbols can be added to the printer driver by making a Character Translation Table entry that reads as follows:

Character Translation Table Entry Character ——————————— ———

169: “^[)’ 3^0d169 ^[)’ 1” Registration 184: “^[)’ 3^0d184 ^[)’ 1” Copyright

For more information on the Character Translation Table and the MAKEPRD utility, see chapter 6 of the “Printer Information for Microsoft Word” version 5.00 manual.

You can also change the graphics set used by the printer driver by changing the initialization sequence used in byte:0 of the PCSD listing.

Please note that changing the graphics set for the entire driver will cause incorrect alignment when printing because the width tables for the printer driver are designed for the IBMR1 graphics set.

The line currently reads:

byte:0 mod 0: “[;[[../2 I^[‘$2^[)’ 1 …”

Replacing the “1” with a “3” will cause the printer driver to use the IBM850 graphics set instead of the IBMR1 graphics set.
