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