8. Function Selection via the Line

NOTE:

This section is a brief description of how to set up the interface from the line using FSL Functions.

The guidelines in this section are very basic and limit themselves to what you need to know. For further details on the supported FSL functions, you are referred to the Programmers Guide, doc. no. D62081. The Programmer's Guide will contain a complete list of the supported functions with description, notes and examples.

FSL functions are special commands in the data stream which set up the Xerox FS 5250 and consequently the printer to function in a specific way.

Some FSL Functions differ according to whether you are in PCL or in XES mode.

Appendix A of this manual contains a Quick Reference Guideto the FSL functions. This list only comprises the syntax and parameters of the supported FSL functions. The reference guide will contain remarks on deviations as to XES or PCL

8.1. Syntax of an FSL Function

The special sequence that the interface will interpret as an FSL Function is shown below:

%Y<function number>,<parameters>%

where % is the defined escape character. See the description below on the Escape Character.
