Translation Table
Selection (4214
Emulation Only)
A selection is made by programming parameter #015 (ASCII Character Set). Valid
selections are 0 to 12, representing one of the translation tables listed in section 9, page
79.
The ASCII character set will not be automatically selected in the printer. The
recommended method when changing ASCII character set in the protocol converter is
to update the power up sequence (parameter #090) to select the new ASCII character
set in the printer. After each power on, the correct character set will be activated
automatically.
Note: Some printer drivers also require the CPI Strings #80 - #89 updating.
Notes: 1. Parameter #015 is used for ASCII character set selection and 11 selects PC-850.
2. This power up sequence assumes the attached printer to be HP LaserJet compatible
with support for PC-850. Besides the reset and margin setting commands, the
power up sequence is programmed with the sequence for selection of character set
PC-850 ($1B $28 $31 $32 $55).
3. Function #205 saves the change permanently and #206 performs a software reset.
4. Extended Emulation Mode has to be active. See page 33.
Result: At each power up PC-850 will be selected in the printer and the protocol converter will
translate the EBCDIC coded characters to equivalent ASCII characters coded
according to the PC-850 character set.
