Appendix B: Character Sets
The IBM 3812-1 printer emulation uses either Code Page 850 or Roman 8 character sets. Refer to your printer’s manual for illustrations and information on character sets.
An EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation table is printed at the bottom of the interface self-test printout as shown on the following pages. This table illustrates how EBCDIC characters (from the twinax host) are converted to the ASCII characters in Code Page 850 and Roman 8 character sets.
The first digit of the EBCDIC hex code is at the top of the table, and the second digit is on the left side. The corresponding ASCII hex code is where the two digits intersect. The character that corresponds to the ASCII hex code is in the chart to the right.
For example, EBCDIC 61 is translated to ASCII 2F, which is a “/” character.
