Connecting to System Xerox FS 3270, User's Guide - 11 - (The “ T ” position is used for testing purposes. See the section on testing later on in the manual.) CAUTION: When delivered, the switch is in neither the B, A or T position, but is nevertheless set to PCL as a default.
Connecting to System Xerox FS 3270, User's Guide - 1 2 - NOTE: Programming of functions 15, 16, 17, 18 and 24 is not possible via the serial port.
Connecting to System Xerox FS 3270, User's Guide - 13 - 2.3.1. Connecting via Centronics output Connecting the Xerox FS 3270 to the printer is simple and should cause no problems if you just follow these steps: 1. Check that printer's parallel input port is available on printer.
Connecting to System Xerox FS 3270, User's Guide - 14 - If possible, the serial output device you are connecting has to be set to Baud rate = 9600, Number of data bits = 8, Parity = None and Stop Bits = 1 to match the default settings of the box.
Connecting to System Xerox FS 3270, User's Guide - 1 5 - 7 . Power th e Xerox FS 327 0 OFF and back ON and check that all indicators light up momentarily. (The indicators are descri b ed in Section 3.1, Indicator LED s ). 8 . Proceed to section 2.
Connecting to System Xerox FS 3270, User's Guide - 16 - If all three (a. b. and c.) are in order, contact your systems support personnel or your dealer. PCL driver: The default configuration of the interface will suffice for most application programs and uses.
Connecting to System Xerox FS 3270, User's Guide - 17 - Keep the settings printout together with this manual for future reference. Settings Printout at Power-on (PCL mode only) A settings printout can also be generated at power-on by activating function Y120.
Operation Xerox FS 3270, User's Guide - 18 - 3. Operation of Xerox FS 3270 The Xerox FS 3270 top panel has been designed to register the operation of the box via the four following indicator LEDs : • CU (contact to Control Unit) • PAR (parallel input) • SER (serial input) • READY (printer) 3.
Operation Xerox FS 3270, User's Guide - 19 - SER (Serial input) The indicator LED has 3 states State Indication ON Indicates that the box is processing data from the RS-232 Serial input BLINKING Indicates that the box has defined the RS-232 as output for the box.
Specifying Timeout Xerox FS 3270, User's Guide - 20 - 4. Specifying Timeout In order to specify the timeout for a specific input port, an FSL ( F unction S election via the Line) sequence must be sent to the port in question. To do this a tempo rary Escape (ESC) Character must be defined first.
Specifying Timeout Xerox FS 3270, User's Guide - 21 - The new setup must be saved in the NVRAM with the following command ("%" is the ESC Character): %X1 The FSL string above was split up into several lines for reasons of clarification to simplify the explanation of the different functions.
idaSetup - IPC Programming Xerox FS 3270, User's Guide - 22 - 5. idaSetup - IPC Programming NOTE: This chapter only applies to the converter when mounted with an IPC module. idaSetup is a program developed with the purpose of setting up the wide range of IPC protocol converters via a PC share port or from a host.
Programming Xerox FS 3270, User's Guide - 23 - 6. IRQ Handling This section describes how to recover from various IRQ conditions. • Paper jam • Out-of paper • Stacker full The printer will recover from these conditions without loss of data as long as you do not power off the printer .
Programming Xerox FS 3270, User's Guide - 2 4 - 7. Programming Xerox FS 3270 - non-IPC Th e Xerox FS 327 0 works using approximately 60 internal Setup Functions (FSL Functions). When the protocol converter has been installed and connected to a printer, you may have to consider the use of these setup options.
