Introduction
User memory
Several hundred les may be saved, depending on their size (maximum: 2000).
Maximum:
• 100 blocks per le
• 255 characters per block
Exchange of les via USB key
It is possible to import and export certain les via USB key (FAT32 le system only):
• marking le
• logos
• character font
• log le
• .csv le
• screenshot(s)
3. Character encoding
Introduction
The previous marking programs used "8 bit" fonts, which could only contain 2
8
= 256 characters. The font
change was necessary for each language, display and marking were impossible for languages including over
256 characters.
Marking and display fonts used in the T08 program are "16 bit" programs, which may contain up to 2
16
=
65536 characters (less in practical terms, certain are reserved). These fonts are based on the setup of the
characters of the ISO/IEC 10646 standard, in the Basic Multilingual Plan. This standard, which species a set
of universal characters (Universal Character Set), also denes other characters (over 1.1 million). These are
not generated by the T08 program and must therefore not be used.
The 16 bit fonts are used to manage new languages and an increased compatibility with the actual operating
systems (Windows, Unix...). However, the numerous materials and applications still use the 8 bit fonts. In
order to have the best possible compatibility with these materials, the characters emitted and received by
the program (les or character strings) are encoded in UTF-8 (UCS Transformation Format, 8 bits). UTF-8
is used to represent the 16 bit characters by using 8 bit codes. This font does not allow old 8 bit systems to
manage 16 bit characters, but it allows to manipulate the acceptable data and to transmit them with no loss of
information.
