• Key Concepts: 
  Quoted-printable is an encoding method used in SAP Exchange Infrastructure (XI) to transfer data between different systems. It is a 7-bit encoding scheme that allows for the transmission of non-ASCII characters, such as those found in languages other than English. It is also used to ensure that the data is not corrupted during transmission.
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use quoted-printable encoding, you must first configure the XI system to use it. This can be done by selecting the “Use Quoted-Printable Encoding” option in the XI configuration settings. Once this is done, all data sent through the system will be encoded using this method.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using quoted-printable encoding, it is important to remember that it is only effective when sending data between systems that support it. If one of the systems does not support this encoding method, then the data may be corrupted during transmission. Additionally, it is important to note that this encoding method is not suitable for sending large amounts of data as it can be slow and inefficient.
