Changing ASCII Character Translation Table
When doing the character conversion from EBCDIC International Set 5 to ASCII
character codes, the protocol converter uses the translation table it has been configured
for.
Even though the Printer Driver selection includes a suitable character translation table,
there are some predefined tables that can be explicitly selected. For modification of the
selected translation table, refer to page 46.
Translation Table
Selection
(3812/5219
Emulation Only)
A selection is made by programming parameter #054 (ASCII Character Set). Valid
selections are 1 to 5, representing one of the translation tables listed in section 9, page
79.
Once the selection has been done, the ASCII character set will be automatically
selected in the printer.
The selection in parameter #054 will normally affect all fonts. However, page 57 is a
description of how the ASCII character translation table can be changed for certain
fonts only.
Notes: 1. Parameter #054 is used for ASCII character set selection and 4 selects PC-850.
2. Function #205 saves the change permanently and #206 performs a software reset.
3. Extended Emulation Mode has to be active. See page 33.
Result: The ASCII characters printed will be coded according to PC-850.
Example: %P
