JDLCode

Use this option to represent the type of input format expected by the Xerox printer during normal operation (that is, the JDL/JDE setting used to start the printer). Character translation is performed as necessary.

The system supports EBCDIC, ASCII, or NONE, which is the same as ASCII. These formats are not supported: BCD, H2BCD, H6BCD, IBMBCD, PEBCDIC, and user-defined code translation.

Referring to the sample JSL, if the printer is normally started with STA DLFT,CBA then the JDLCode parameter must be set to CODE = EBCDIC. The INI setting must contain the value of the CODE= statement for the printer's normal operation. Here is an example of this INI option:

JDLCode = EBCDIC
