<h5 id="rzaluconchrid">Character set and code page combinations (CHRIDs)</h5>
<p>This type of code page is made up of a specific graphic character set and
a specific code page and is referred to by a character identifier (CHRID).</p>
<p>These graphic character sets and code pages (CHRIDs) are used for fonts
that are resident on the printer. They are used in conjunction with a font
ID to obtain a resident font.</p>
<p>The following printers support CHRIDs: </p>
<ul>
<li>3112</li>
<li>3116</li>
<li>3130</li>

<p><span class="bold">Naming convention for CHRIDs</span></p>
<p>The names of character identifiers (CHRIDs) are made up of two elements:
graphic character set and code page. These two elements define a collection
of characters. Below is an example of the multinational CHRID 697-500. </p>
<dl>
<dt class="bold">697</dt>
<dd>This is the name of the graphic character set.
<p>Some graphic character
sets identify a character set that is a subset of the code page. Others identify
a character set that is equivalent to the code page.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="bold">500</dt>
<dd>This is the name of the code page.
</dd>
</dl>
<p><span class="bold">Selecting CHRIDs</span></p>
<p>CHRIDs are selected by specifying a certain value for the character identifier
(CHRID) parameter of the printer file. Additionally, a font ID value must
be specified for the FONT parameter on the printer file.</p>
<p><span class="bold">Substituting CHRIDs</span></p>
<p>If the CHRID is not available on the printer your application is using,
the system will substitute the CHRID that most closely matches the one requested
by the application.</p>
