Xerox FS 5250, User’s Guide
- 15 -
If you wish to operate in default PCL mode, the box is ready to operate when
delivered. It is important that you do not change the position of the address switch.
Note that operation mode is outside of the B, A & T positions.
If you wish to select XES, you must follow the instructions in the below section
“Changing the Driver”.
Changing the Driver:
To change from PCL to XES driver, the rotary switch has to be in position T at
power on. Current printer driver is indicated on printout. Now turn the rotary
switch to position B (XES). New position is then indicated as “alternate printer
driver” (XES) on second printout. When correct position is obtained, turn rotary
switch away from B, A or T positions (any other position will do). Power the
converter OFF and ON again. The new driver is now active. (If you wish to
reinstall the PCL driver later on, repeat the above, setting the switch into the A
(PCL) position instead of the B (XES) position).
6.2. Emulation
If you wish to see the current emulation, you can generate a test print out by
turning the address switch to the T-position.
In Xerox FS 5250 you can select emulation in two ways. Either via the
address switch (see below) or you can do it via the line by activating FSL
function Y37 (only in PCL mode).
The following emulations are supported by the Xerox FS 5250:
IBM 3812 / 5219 / 3816
IBM 5224
IBM 5225
IBM 5256
IBM 4234
IBM 4245/6262
As default the Xerox FS 5250 will emulate IBM 3812/5219/3816.
As default the Xerox FS 5250 IPC will emulate IPDS
6.2.1 Via the Line
Selecting emulation via the line can be done in PCL only!
You can set the desired emulation in FSL function Y37.
Note that if you select emulation via function 37, you must physically write
the emulation. See the chart in the following for details.
