Modifying Translate Tables

The translate and function tables may be modified in a manner similar to

the General Configuration Options. Refer to Section 3 — Configuration for

detailed information on configuration. The example shown here changes

the output value for an SCS form feed character to an ASCII space:

!ALLY!#4@0C=20;

!ALLY! is the trigger; a number sign (#) indicates a change to a translate or

function table; 4 represents the ASCII from SCS translate table; the at sign

(@) is the position identifier; 0C is the position to be changed; 20 is the

value moved into position 0C; an equals sign (=) separates the position

from the value; and a semicolon (;) is the terminator.
Multiple configuration combinations are possible by separating assignments

with a comma. (Each line in the data stream must have its own trigger and

its own terminator.) For example:

!ALLY!#2@05=20,#2@02=20,#4@0D=20,#4@0C=20;

With this sequence we assign spaces to:

• the ASCII from DSC CR character
• the ASCII from DSC FF character
• the ASCII from SCS CR character
• the ASCII from SCS FF character

To set all translate and function tables to their default values, enter:

!ALLY!#;

To set an individual table to its default values, enter:

!ALLY!#n;

where n represents the number of the table to set to default values.
Note: If the user intends to download translate table values within the data

streams of print jobs, Option #12 — SCS right margin and Option #22 —

DSC right margin should be set to 00 (infinite line length), Option #14 —

SCS bottom margin and Option #24 — DSC bottom margin should be set to

00 (infinite page length), and Option #70 — DisplayWrite 370 support

should be set to 00 (disabled). Otherwise, unpredictable formatting results

could occur.
