Your printer is set to the wrong extended character set and/or code
page.  How to change this, I can't say.  But, if it's true PCL, I'm
sure Jim Asman can probably give you an init code off the top of his
head.

For example, start wordpad. Then type Alt+196 and you will see the
horizontal line.  Then type Alt+0196 and you will see the dotted-A.

For those with Windows systems:

    Alt+196    - - - - -

    Alt+0196   Ä Ä Ä Ä Ä

They are both represented by character 196, but they are in different
character sets.
