Symbols Tab

The Symbols tab allows you to insert characters from a variety of fonts, including many that are not available on standard keyboards.

Control Characters Tab

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.
