Printing Printing using 8-bit character sets
8.6 Printing using 8-bit character sets
The BS2000 character set is converted to ANSI (the Windows PC printer cha-
racter set) if you use a Windows printer. The ISO 8859-1 8-bit character set is
the only one that comes close to the ANSI character set. Errors can occur in the
output if you use a different 8-bit character set.
8.7 Differences between TRANSDATA and
Windows printers
Note the following properties when using Windows printers:
● The Carriage Return (CR) control character is interpreted as the Carriage
Return + Line Feed (LF) sequence. Any subsequent Line Feed is ignored.
● When the Backspace (BS) control character is used, note that the character
output before Backspace is replaced by the character after the BS, i.e. the two
characters are not printed on top of each other.
Example:
● The following defaults are used for Windows printers:
– first print line At 0.5”
– last print line At 10.5”
– form length 11”
– pitch 10 cpi
– tab stops At position 1, 9, 17 etc. on the basis of
10 cpi pitch
