Figure 2-36.Close up of data monitor printout

Note the following about the data monitor printout:

·The characters printed on the right half of the printout are either ISO or EBCDIC characters. The data monitor always uses the translation table for EBCDIC data, regardless of the language selected. If ASCII encoding is selected, ISO characters are printed.

·The Page number refers to the pages of the printout, not of the transmitted job.

(Those in figures 2-35 and 2-36 are ISO).

See the Xerox 4213 User Guide, Diagnostics chapter for more information on using the data monitor.

Character codes on the Xerox 4213

For the printer to print the characters in a font, each character is assigned a hexadecimal code. The code assigned to a character may vary, according to the data encoding system (ASCII, EBCDIC, or ISO), the language selection, and the characters available in the font selected.

When the host sends the printer a hexadecimal code for a character, the printer knows which character to print because of the assigned table linking the code to each character.
