When you press a key on the terminal keyboard, it emits a

character, regardless of the keyboard you are using. For
example, hexadecimal code point C1 always corresponds to an
uppercase A.
Keyboards may vary from country to country, so there are a few
hexadecimal code points that correspond to different characters
depending on the keyboard you are using. For example, on a
U.S. English keyboard, hexadecimal code point 4A corresponds
to the cent symbol (¢); on a UK English keyboard, hexadecimal
code point 4A corresponds to the dollar symbol ($). U.S. English
is the default keyboard, but you can customize a virtual keyboard
character map for each unique keyboard configuration you need.

A unique Xerox character identifier is assigned to each character
in the Xerox centralized and decentralized fonts. The printer
uses the Xerox character identifier to locate the graphic
representation of the character. The Xerox character identifier
matches the hexadecimal code point to the character it
represents. For example, the Xerox character identifier 0/101
corresponds to the uppercase A.
