Remarks

PosPrinterBase class verifies that the device has been opened, claimed, and enabled, then retrieves or sets the value of PosPrinterProperties.CharacterSet. If the application sets CharacterSet to a value that doesn’t exist in the CharacterSetList property array, PosPrinterProperties may throw PosControlException exceptions with the following values:

Value	Meaning
Illegal	The service object has set the CharacterSet property to a value that doesn't exist in the CharacterSetList array.

CharacterSet is initialized to -1 by the PosPrinterProperties class. The service object should update CharacterSet to an appropriate value in its Open method.
