INTRODUCTION TO XES
General Information
The AGILE X/TRA XLI is equipped with a high-speed translation module
that accepts data streams designed for Xerox Escape Sequence (XES/UDK)
printers and converts them for printing to Xerox DocuPrint N-Series
Network Laser Printers.
The basic printer emulation is that of a Xerox 4213 Model II, firmware
revision 2.1Y, although the X/TRA XLi also offers expanded support for
some Xerox 2700, 3700, 4045, 4235 (in XDPM mode) and 4700 series
printer commands as described in Section 4  XES Commands.
XES emulation switching commands (=MCK=) are used to ensure that
PostScript, PCL and other non-XES data is passed through without
translation.
Configuration of the XES translation module in the X/TRA XLI is
performed with a menu driven PC/MS DOS program (XTRAEDIT).
