Use
Procedure
Enter the ID of an SAP character set which is compatible with the printer type which is thus available on the printer.
The first character set is used for all output requests which are sent to output devices of this category. Ensure that the character set is compatible with the standard character set of the printer or with the character sets which are set in the specifications for device type (if such specifications are made).
The second and third character sets are reserved for future use. You can enter the first character set into all three fields.
To make sure that an SAP character set and a printer character set are compatible, ensure that both records:
- contain the same characters
- enter the same binary definition for each character.
If no SAP character set is suited, you create a new SAP character set. You will find the characters and the binary definitions in the printer manual.
