Translation

The Translation group is used to select a translate language and if needed to configure the Translate Tables. Choices include:

Language (CCSID): Selects the translate language.
Note: The language must correspond to the Windows operating system language.
Euro: Check this box to include support for the Euro currency symbol.
Refer to Configuring Euro support for more information.

Refer to Configuring DBCS support for more information.

Default Printer Model Type

This group is used to configure the IBM Terminal model that you want to emulate. Use the drop-down menu to display the list of IBM terminals.

IBM Device:
- IBM-3812-1 (single-byte printer)
- IBM-5553-B01 (double-byte printer)
Use Custom Device: Check to specify a custom IBM Printer Device. If checked, the Type and Model settings must be specified. The following two options are active only when the option is selected.
- Type: Type the printer Type to use.

Options

Allow Host to Override Language and Set Code Page: If checked, the host is allowed to set the language and code page for character translations during the print jobs overriding the above settings.
CAUTION:
If this option is enabled, any customizations made to the translate tables are lost.
Use Host Unbind as the End of Job Indicator: If checked, then only host-sent Unbind commands received are used in End of Job determination.
Ignore Data in Transparent Blocks: If enabled, Rocket TE discards any data in SCS 03 and 35 transparent commands. Any data contained in transparent blocks is discarded and not written to the Rocket TE spool file or the printer.

From an end user perspective:

This feature is useful when the transparent blocks contain printer control codes for specific printers and the end user wants to print the job on a different printer. Discarding the transparent blocks results in a print job without any printer control characters. The print formatting features of the Rocket TE Windows API mode can be used to format the job for the new target printer.
In Passthrough Mode, Process SCS Horizontal Tab Commands: If enabled (default), Rocket TE processes SCS Horizontal Tab commands sent from the host. If disabled, Rocket TE sends a Tab character (0x09) directly to the printer. Valid for pass-through mode only.
