Character Substitutions

Up to five different ASCII characters can be replaced with five different ASCII strings.

Note: This is accomplished by programming a value (1-5) in the character translation table

instead of the ASCII character that shall be replaced by a string. The new value in the

translation table refers to one of the Character Substitution strings in parameter #110 to

#114.

Example: The characters ‘*’ and ‘&’ are to be underlined when printed.

Notes: 1. When the protocol converter is set for 4214 emulation (see the User’s Manual),

there are 10 Character Substitutions available (parameter #110 to #119).

2. When the protocol converter is set for 4214 emulation (see the User’s Manual), this

programming line shall be excluded. In 3812/5219 emulation, it selects the

Editable Character Set that unmodified is equal to PC-850.

3. The parameter is programmed with the start and stop sequence for underline on an

HP LaserJet printer with the character to be underlined in between.

4. The translation table is modified to translate the EBCDIC characters $5C and $50

(‘*’ and ‘&’) to the contents of the strings in parameter #110 to #111 respectively.

5. Function #205 saves the change permanently and #206 performs a software reset.

6. Extended Emulation Mode has to be active. See page 33.

Result: The characters ‘*’ and ‘&’ are underlined when printed.
