Xerox FS 5250, User’s Guide

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 inPCL 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.
