67 — Xerox EBCDIC Font Download Translation

The table selected here is automatically invoked when the 5250 ALLY encounters a Xerox font download in the data stream. The user should select table 0F if operating a Xerox printer in ASCII mode. The EBCDIC pass-through table (03) should be selected if the user is operating a Xerox printer in EBCDIC mode.

Reading Translation Tables

The left column of each table is a series of numerals and letters representing the most significant digit of the hexadecimal input character received by the 5250 ALLY. The top row of each table is a series of numerals and letters representing the least significant digit of the hexadecimal input character received by the 5250 ALLY.

The intersection in the table of the most significant and least significant digits of the input character is the location of the output value that the 5250 ALLY sends to the printer upon receiving a given input character in the data stream.

To understand the way in which the translation tables work, look at Translation Table 01 (EBCDIC to ASCII) on page 3-10. Find the output value for the hexadecimal input character 'C1.' (This is an uppercase “A” in EBCDIC.) Look down the left column and find the entry “C_.” Look across the table until reaching the intersection of the column headed by “_1.”
