AGILE 5250 ALLY Users Guide and ReferencePage 1-18
If the printer attached to the 5250 ALLY is among the supported printer
configurations in the 5250 ALLY flash memory (see below), configuring
the output port can be as simple as loading the appropriate configuration.
Loading a printer configuration sets the appropriate timing and loads the
appropriate format, translation and PFS/GFID information.
Once the configuration is loaded, the timing, printer error timeout period,
format information, translation tables, PFSs and GFIDs may be modified
by the user. Do not modify any output port settings before loading a printer
configuration, because loading a configuration will overwrite all output
port settings.
If the users printer configuration is not among those in the 5250 ALLY
flash memory, the user should load the configuration named Generic. If
this configuration does not work properly with the users printer, either a
configuration will have to be built from scratch, or Generic or another
configuration file will have to be modified by the user.
5 Printer Configurations Available
The following output port configurations are available in the 5250 ALLY
firmware EPROM:
00. Xerox 3700 printer in ASCII mode
01. Xerox 3700 printer in EBCDIC mode
02. Xerox 4030 printer in ASCII mode
03. Xerox 4030 printer in EBCDIC mode
04. Xerox 4045 printer in ASCII mode
05. Xerox 4045 printer in EBCDIC mode

08. Xerox 4235 printer in ASCII mode
09. Xerox 4235 printer in EBCDIC mode
0B. Xerox 4235 printer in Production Print mode (emulating a
centralized printer) using the EBCDIC character set
0C. Xerox 4700 color printer in ASCII mode
0D. Xerox 4700 color printer in EBCDIC mode
0E. ASCII Diagnostic. A diagnostic-only printer configuration, for
ASCII printers, that prints the name of each PFS as it is invoked
by the data stream, rather than using the PFS to format the
document
