Choosing a Translation Table
A specific translation table is selected for every input port when a printer
configuration is loaded from the OPTIMA diskette, so most users will not
have to change these settings unless building a printer configuration from
scratch.
Before using OPTEDIT to choose a translation table for each input port
that will send data to a specific output port, the user should become
familiar with the issues discussed in Chapter 3  Character Code
Translation.
To choose a translation table, at the appropriate port on the OPTEDIT
main screen, use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the words Translate
Info:, and press ENTER. A Translate screen with a list of all possible
input ports (plus the OPTIMA itself) along with the default translation
table for each port will be displayed.
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor on the Translate screen to the name
of the input port for which the translate table is to be changed, and press
ENTER. A list of all sixteen translation tables will be displayed.
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the name of the appropriate
translation table, and press ENTER. After the selection has been made, the
Translate screen will return. Press F10 or Esc to return to the OPTEDIT
main screen.
