DOS SMB clients assume the server has the same charset as they do. This option specifies which charset Samba should talk to DOS clients.
The default depends on which charsets you have installed. Samba tries to use charset 850 but falls back to ASCII in case it is not available. Run testparm 1 to check the default on your system.
