Allow EBCDIC Font Downloading

When the ULTRA sees (UDK/Esc)+A or (UDK/Esc)+F, a font download is being processed. The (UDK) is the user-defined key. Please refer to the Xerox printer programmer reference for further information on this escape sequence.

If the user’s application requires this feature, and if the user would like to use the printer in ASCII mode, this option should be set to “Yes.” Refer to Option #62 in Section 5 — Configuration Options.

Note: If the ULTRA is in EBCDIC output mode (see Option #10), Option #62 must be set to “No.”

Metacode Support

Some Xerox printers are capable of accepting Metacode data. The Xerox 4235 is a Metacode-capable printer, for example. The data seen by the ULTRA and the printer are identical when this type of data is detected. Metacode data is triggered by a 35h in the data stream, immediately followed by a count byte, then the data itself. The data is not translated in this sequence. Additional information can be found in Section 11 — Transparency Modes. Please refer to the Xerox printer programmer reference for further information on this escape sequence.

Refer to Option #58 in Section 5 — Configuration Options. Users with applications that require a Metacode-capable printer should set this option to “Yes.”
