Connections and Installation
Xerox FS 5250, User’s Guide
- 14 -
The serial input port is connected to the serial output on a PC or similar
source able to share the printer with the host.
For this connection you need a cable ending in a 25-pole RS connector
(order no. 999010 030).
To use the serial input, Function 24, " Data Input/Output Port Select "
must be set to zero (Centronics out, which is factory default).
You must also make the following settings on your PC to match the default
settings on the box:
Function Y15: Baud rate, set to 5 = 9600
Function Y16: Number of data bits, set to 8 = 8 bits
Function Y17: Parity, set to 1 = No Parity
Function Y18: Number of Stop Bits, set to 1 = 1 Stop Bit
If this is not possible, you must change the functions 15, 16, 17 and 18 on
the box to match the PC's values.
NOTE:
Programming of functions 15, 16, 17, 18 and 24 is not possible via the
serial port. These functions have to be programmed either via the
twinax or via the parallel input port.
TWINAX CONNECTOR
Before the twinax cable is connected, be sure to turn the box power OFF.
When power is turned off, plug the automatically terminating twinax T-cable
(twin BNC cable) into the socket on the rear panel and turn the connector
ring clockwise to lock.
ADDRESS SWITCH: EMULATION & PRINTER DRIVER SELECT
You use the address switch for:
• selecting/changing emulation, setting the address and for the generating
of test printouts. Tests can also be made via the line. See the section
TEST function for details. For details on emulation see the section
"Emulation".
• selecting/changing of printer driver. You have the option of selecting
between XES and PCL.
Y24 = 0 is also
used for
Centronics
output.
