In instances where the PC and host use different CODEPAGE settings, the Asian translation tables ensure that the PC and host can communicate. For example, in Korea, the host might use UNISYS555, while the PC might use KSC5601. When you use the appropriate translation table, Accessory Manager automatically makes the appropriate adjustments to ensure communication between the two systems.
If the country specified in the regional settings in the Windows Control Panel is in Asia, the following translation tables are installed:
