Appendix B: Character Sets

The IBM 3812-1 printer emulation supports both the Roman 8 character set and
Code Page 850. The selection between the two decides which is used when a font
supports both. Refer to the printer user's guide for illustrations and information
on character sets.
An EBCDIC to ASCII translation table is printed at the bottom of the interface
self-test. The tables on the following pages illustrate how EBCDIC characters
(from the twinax host) are converted to the ASCII characters in the Roman 8 and
Code 850 character sets.
The first digit of the EBCDIC hex code is at the top of the table, and the second
digit is on the left side. The corresponding ASCII hex code is where the two digits
intersect. The character that corresponds to the ASCII hex code is in the chart to
the right.
