Character Translation

SCS data stream EBCDIC language specific characters are first translated into
EBCDIC International Set 5 characters. This is the internal character
representation in the Intermate LX T-04. The EBCDIC International Set 5
characters are then translated into ASCII codes, which are sent to the printer.

The EBCDIC language specific-to-EBCDIC International Set 5 translation
table is determined by the selected System Language.

The EBCDIC International Set 5-to-ASCII table is determined by the selected
Printer Driver.

You have access to the table that translates the EBCDIC International Set 5
codes to ASCII codes. Appendix B shows a printout of the characters for each
EBCDIC International Set 5 code.

To be able to edit the translation table you have to select the Editable Set. This
is done in the Basic Configuration (see Section 3) or as shown in the example
below. Before editing, the Editable Set equals the PC-850 character set.

Example:

To change a left bracket '[' (EBCDIC International Set 5 code $4A) to a left
bracket '{' which has ASCII value $7B. Insert the following programming
sequences in your document:
