Incorrect Host Printouts
There are three major types of incorrect printouts:
Some Characters are
Printed Incorrectly
• Characters like ä ü Ä Ü are printed as { } [ ]
Most likely an incorrect System Language has been selected.
Select the System Language matching your system configuration
see page 24.
• Characters like é ì ô ü are printed as e i o u
Your printer has not been set up for the character set matching the
ASCII Character Set selection. Make sure that you have selected
the correct Printer Driver and the correct ASCII Character Set in
the Basic Configuration.
If this doesn’t help, your printer may not be able to print all the
characters that the system produces. Print out the EBCDIC-to-ASCII
translation table (see page 81), and compare this to the table on page
77. In some cases it is possible to edit the translation table, or to select
another character set in your printer. Consult your distributor for
further details.
Corrupted Printouts
This is generally caused by selecting a Printer Driver not matching
your printer. The control commands will then be misinterpreted by
the printer, causing corrupted printouts. If changing Printer Driver
does not help, you can use the ASCII hexdump function (page 62) to
locate the control commands causing the problem.
Incorrect Page Breaks
This may be caused by an incorrect Printer Driver selection. There
may also be a printer problem, causing it not to print all lines on a
page.
In IBM 3812/5219 emulation, the AX-3 Cobra+ can be set to
compress pages vertically, see page 46.
