COAX COMMUNICATIONS BUFFER

Orders

Orders accepted by the Xerox MRP Family coax printers are operations that control printing and mode changing. The PCIA bytes X©0016©ÐX©0017© specify the type of order the printer is required to perform. The first byte (X©0016©) contains the order and the second byte (X©0017©) contains any applicable parameters for that order. The following are valid orders:

01 Abort

02SSAÐSystem Status Available

03Print processing

05Load translate tables (ignored)

06DSC query (ignored)

07DSC load structured field (IPDS) (ignored)

For any other orders, the 4220/MRP or 4230/MRP coax printer returns the `Order Reject' and `Order Complete' responses to the host system.

Abort

On receipt of an abort order, the Xerox Family MRP coax printers terminate the current order and then respond with an `Order Complete' in the status byte (byte ©X0000©).

This order has no parameters, so the abort order does not use

PCIA byte X©0017.©

System Status Available (SSA)

The SSA order allows the host control unit to change the Print mode. If the printer is in SCS mode, this order also allows a request for either PA1 or PA2 action by the host.

Refer to table D-3 for the parameter byte (PCIA byte X©0017©) codes accepted for this order. If these parameters are incorrect, an `Order Reject' response is returned to the host system.

Print order processing

This order causes printing of the message buffer while taking the following into account: the Print mode (PCIA byte X©0017©), the message starting address (MSA), and the message length (ML) bytes in the PCIA.

The MSA (PCIA bytes X©0012©ÐX©0013©) identifies the position of the first byte of data in the print buffer. If the MSA value is outside print buffer limits, the Xerox MRP Family coax printers immediately return `Order Reject' and `Order Complete' responses to the host system.

The ML (PCIA bytes X©0014©ÐX©0015©) plus MSA-1 defines the position of the last byte of data in the buffer. If ML is zero, the Xerox MRP Family coax printers return an `Order Complete' response to the host system without an error condition and without printing anything.

4220/MRP, 4219/MRP, 4215/MRP, 4230/MRP specifications

The Xerox 4219/MRP, 4220/MRP, 4215/MRP, and 4230/MRP are multifunction printers designed for businesses that require efficient printing, copying, and scanning solutions. These models exemplify Xerox's commitment to quality, reliability, and user-friendly features, making them ideal for both small and medium-sized enterprises.

One of the main features of these models is their versatility. They handle a wide range of paper formats, from letter-sized documents to larger legal-sized prints, and support various media types, including glossy and plain paper. This flexibility allows businesses to produce everything from basic documents to vibrant marketing materials without the need for multiple devices.

The Xerox 4219/MRP is noted for its compact design, making it suitable for office environments with limited space. It offers a robust printing speed of up to 19 pages per minute, ensuring fast document output. It incorporates advanced digital technology, ensuring that each print is sharp and clear, providing excellent image quality for both text and graphics.

In contrast, the Xerox 4220/MRP features enhanced printing speed, reaching up to 20 pages per minute. This model is ideal for teams that require higher volumes of prints on a daily basis. Both the 4219 and 4220 models come equipped with intuitive touch-screen controls, simplifying user interactions and minimizing training time.

The Xerox 4215/MRP stands out with its affordability and energy efficiency. This model is designed for budget-conscious businesses without compromising performance. It features automatic duplex printing, which reduces paper usage and cuts down operational costs. Its compact build and easy installation process make it a practical choice for any workspace.

The Xerox 4230/MRP, on the other hand, is designed for higher productivity needs, boasting a printing speed of up to 30 pages per minute. It incorporates advanced connectivity options, including wireless printing capabilities, mobile printing support, and integration with cloud services. This feature enables employees to print from various devices seamlessly, enhancing workflow efficiency.

All four models utilize Xerox’s proprietary imaging technology, ensuring exceptional image quality and consistent performance over time. They also come equipped with security features to protect sensitive information, such as password-protected printing and user authentication protocols.

In summary, the Xerox 4219/MRP, 4220/MRP, 4215/MRP, and 4230/MRP offer a range of features suitable for different business needs, from high-volume printing to cost-effective solutions. Their advanced technologies, user-friendly interfaces, and robust performance make them reliable choices for any modern office.
