Defaults
If you do not code the UCS parameter, the system checks the UCS image in the printer’s buffer; if it is a default image, as indicated by its first byte, JES uses it. If it is not a default image, JES loads the UCS image that is the installation default specified at JES initialization.
On an impact printer, if the chain or train does not contain a valid character set, JES asks the operator to specify a character set and to mount the corresponding chain or train.

Note: Where three values exist (for the 1403, 3211, and 3203 Model 5 printers),
code any one of them. JES selects the set corresponding to the device
on which the data set is printed.
Not all of these character sets may be available at your installation. Also, an installation can design character sets to meet special needs and assign a unique code to them. Follow installation procedures for using character sets. |
