22 Multi–Platform Interface Feature Operation Guide
Coax Code Maps
Data sent from the S/370 or S/390 host
computer to the Multi–Platform Interface
Feature is translated into the correct form
for the 6400 printer to understand. The
following sections show the maps used by
the interface to translate the various kinds of
host data into the ASCII printer language.
To translate the coax host character to
ASCII character, use the coax hex value as
the coordinates (grey column and row) on
the map. At that cell, is the ASCII translation
(ASCII hex value and character).
For example, a coax DSE hex value of 35
would be translated to ASCII hex 2B and is
the ASCII "+" character.
These maps illustrate the translation from
host code page United States to ASCII code
page PC850. Translation maps for other
code pages, such as United Kingdom, are
not shown. See Appendix E for Supported
Host Character sets.
Translating Host Code Page to ASCII Code Pages
