The appropriate character code translation tables for the input and output devices are selected when a supported printer configuration is loaded. If the printer/output device is not among the supported printer configurations, the user must select the appropriate translation table for each input device. These tables may be modified by the user, if necessary. Tables 08-0E are reserved for definition by the user.

Selecting a Translation Table (Group 60)

When configuring the 5250 ALLY, for each input device the appropriate translation table must be selected. The default selections of the translation tables might meet the user’s needs, but the user may need to find the appropriate tables from among the other fifteen tables included in flash memory. The 5250 ALLY allows any of the sixteen tables to be selected by the user for any input device, but only some are ordinarily appropriate.

Notice that the tables are mostly made up of some combination of EBCDIC or ASCII. To determine which is the appropriate table for an input device, the user must determine the format of the data stream and the format used by the printer.

If the source device is twinax, the input will be in EBCDIC SCS. If the source device is a PC, the input will probably be ASCII. The printer might use either EBCDIC or standard 7-bit ASCII, or one of the 8-bit extended ASCII character sets used by the HP LaserJet and other printers. If unsure what format the device uses, please consult the manual that came with it.
