7. Programming Xerox FS 3270 - non-IPC
The Xerox FS 3270 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.
FSL setup functions can be sent either from your IBM system or from a PC.
PCL Driver (Default)
If you have decided to run the Xerox FS 3270 in PCL mode (see Chapter 1), the Xerox FS 3270 is ready to operate after you have completed the installation procedure. The factory default setup will meet the demands of most host systems and users, and special programming is therefore normally not required.
However, special circumstances may require changes in the pro gramming of the box. For full details on this please see the "Laser 3270 Programmer's Guide; D62078, subpart D62030. In the Pro grammer's Guide you will find an extensive description of the FSL Functions with notes, comments and examples.
FSL Driver
If you have decided to run the Xerox FS 3270 in FSL mode (see Chapter 1), you have just selected an unprogrammed printer driver and you need to program any further settings of the box using FSL functions. The "Laser 3270 Programmer's Guide"; Document No. D62078, subpart D62071 gives you full details on how you do this.
On the following pages you will find a list of the functions available in PCL mode and FSL mode respectively.
