I am trying to print the euro symbol on a Toshiba Tec B SX5T printer. I currently print the pound symbol with the ascii value 156, however the euro ascii value of 0128 drops the leading zero and prints the incorrect symbol.
0128 is not a recognisable sysmbol
Go to the Toshiba web site and the tech Support team- evidently there has been an error in the printed instruct as to the symbol number.

The Ascii code for pound sign is 00A3.
It can be accessed from a PC keyboard by holding down the Alt key and typing 0163 on the numeric keypad. (It will not work using the ordinary number keys.)
You must either modify your graphics or try another driver ou driver options.
Take care that this printer only print black dots and the grey is obtained by not printing all the dots.
With some algorithms the grey color is not correctly interpreted.
Unfortunately, a US keyboard is set up to send out keycodes for the US symbols. If you're using Windows 7, this information from Microsoft may be helpful.For XP, you can try changing your regional settings in the Control Panel (Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options). You can try changing the keyboard layout and see what happens.
One sure way to get the symbols from any keyboard is by using alt codes. Hold down the ALT key and (on the numeric pad) press 0128 for the Euro symbol (€). ALT-0163 gives you the Pound Sterling symbol (£).
To type the Euro sign in Windows, you press the alt key+0128. As for the Sterling pound symbol, you can type it by pressing the alt key+0163. You can have a look at this site where it lists ways to type different currency symbols: http://www.fonts.com/fontent/fontent_home.asp?nCo=AFMT&con=fyti_currency
Please note that you have to type the 4-digit code on the numeric keypad (do not use the normal number keys) while holding down the Alt key.
