If multiple hardware code pages are supported in OEM issues, the first hardware code page (hwcp1) in the list specifies the default hardware code page.:
 
: <tt>DEVICE=…\DISPLAY.SYS CON=(type,(hwcp1,hwcp2,…),n|(n,m))</tt><ref name="Paul_2002-12-04"/>
: <tt>DEVICE=…\PRINTER.SYS PRN=(type,(hwcp1,hwcp2,…),n)</tt><ref name="Paul_2002-12-04"/>
 
If no hardware code page(s) are specified, these drivers default either to a dummy code page number 999<ref name="Paul_2001_CPSwitchFD"/><ref name="Paul_1997_NWDOSTIP"/><ref name="Paul_2001_NWDOSTIP"/> or assume the hardware code page to be equal to the [[primary code page]] (the first codepage listed in [[COUNTRY.SYS]] files for a particular country with the country code either specified in the CONFIG.SYS [[COUNTRY (CONFIG.SYS directive)|COUNTRY]] directive or assumed to be the operating system's internal default, usually 1 (US) in Western issues of DOS).<ref name="Paul_2001_CPSwitchFD"/>
