Printing with PCIA Dump feature
A3-52
The printed translate tables show how EBCDIC character codes
are translated into ISO/ASCII characters before being sent to the
4213. Therefore, these tables are not relevant when the XCTO is
operating in its EBCDIC mode.
Each translate table printed out will have three columns.
column consists of a sequence of characters similar to those
shown below:
CFh : C4 6F
The characters to the left of the colon represent a hexadecimal
EBCDIC code point. In the above example, the EBCDIC code
point is X'CF' which corresponds to the boxed character shown
in the left margin. The characters to the right of the colon
represent the hexadecimal code points which constitute the
required character in ISO/ASCII.
Certain special features available on the XCTO will allow you to

The PCIA (Printer Control Input Area) dump is a diagnostics tool
similar to the printer data monitor. Like the printer data monitor,
it also prints the hexadecimal value of the data received, but it
prints exactly what the host transmits to the buffer. It may help
to think of a PCIA buffer dump as a snapshot of the buffer during
a print order.
A service representative or systems analyst may use a PCIA buffer
dump to determine the host escape sequences or to see what
the host is sending to the buffer.
