Remarks

LineDisplayBase class verifies that the device has been opened, claimed, and enabled, then retrieves or sets the value of LineDisplayProperties.CharacterSet.

CharacterSet may be one of the following ranges or values:

Value	Meaning
Range 101 - 199	A device-specific character set that does not match a code page or the ASCII or Windows ANSI character sets.
Range 400 - 990	Code page; matches one of the standard values.
CharacterSetUnicode	The character set supports Unicode. The value of this constant is 997.
CharacterSetAscii	The ASCII character set, supporting the ASCII characters between 20-hex and 7F-hex. The value of this constant is 998.
CharacterSetAnsi	The Windows ANSI character set. The value of this constant is 999. This is exactly equivalent to the Windows code page 1252.
Range 1000 and higher	Windows code page; matches one of the standard values.

Accessing CharacterSet may cause a PosControlException to be thrown with the following ErrorCode:

Value	Meaning
