Insert Symbols or Special Characters Dialog |
The Insert Symbols or Special Characters dialog, accessible from the icon, on the Data Source property page allows you to insert characters into the Embedded Data or Default Reply field. To insert a character, simply click on the desired character and press the Insert button.
The following tabs are available:
The Symbols tab allows you to insert characters from a variety of fonts, including many that are not available on standard keyboards.
Font. Specifies the font family from which to select characters.
Subset. Jumps to the subset of characters within the character list.
Unicode. Displays the Unicode value for the selected character, which is a unique number used to encode the character in XML, HTML, and many other scripting languages. To locate a symbol by its Unicode value, simply enter the corresponding Unicode value into this field.
Recently Used Characters. Displays a list of previously-selected characters.
Size. Determines the size of the symbol inserted. By selecting the Auto option, the size of the symbol will match the current font size.
A Control character is a non-typable character that performs a function. For example, you may need to insert a <CR> character so that a carriage return is read in your printer code output. The supported characters are listed below.

You can also find control characters on the Delimiter Value dialog when creating and modifying Printer Code Templates. |
