Hardware code pages are also [[OEM code page]]s. The designation "OEM", for "[[original equipment manufacturer]]", indicates that the character set could be changed by the manufacturer to meet different markets.<ref name="Chen_2005_CP"/><ref name="Chen_2005_OEM"/>

However, OEM code pages do not necessarily reside in ROM, but include so called [[prepared code page]]s,<ref name="XyWrite_2009"/><ref name="Caldera_1998_USER-17"/> (aka [[downloadable character set]]s or [[downloadable font]]s), character sets loaded as [[raster font]]s into the font RAM of suitable display adapters (like [[NEC APC]],<ref name="NEC_1983NEC_1983_APC"/> [[Persyst]]'s [[Persyst BoB Color Adapter|BoB Color Adapter]],<ref name="Hart_1985"/> [[Hercules Computer Technology|Hercules]]' [[HGC+]],<ref name="Wilton_1987"/><ref name="Brown_2000_RBIL"/><ref name="Elliott_2012_HGCPlus"/> [[Hercules InColor Card|InColor]]<ref name="Wilton_1987"/><ref name="Elliott_2012_InColor"/> and [[Hercules Network Card Plus|Network Plus]]<ref name="CW_1988"/><ref name="Hercules_1988"/> with [[RAMFONT]], and IBM's [[Multi-Color Graphics Array|MCGA]],<ref name="Wilton_1987"/><ref name="Ferraro_1994"/><ref name="Brown_2000_RBIL"/> [[Enhanced Graphics Adapter|EGA]],<ref name="Ferraro_1994"/><ref name="Brown_2000_RBIL"/> [[VGA]],<ref name="Ferraro_1994"/><ref name="Brown_2000_RBIL"/> etc.) and printers as well.<ref name="Paul_2001_CPI"/><ref name="Elliott_2006_CPI"/><ref name="AEB_2001_CPI"/><ref name="Haralambous_2007_CPI"/><ref name="MS_1991_PR"/> Hence, the group of OEM code pages is a superset of hardware code pages.
