SECTION 6

COAX HOST CONSIDERATIONS

The ALLY PLUS can process data from a variety of IBM host systems. This section discusses how to ensure compatibility between the ALLY PLUS and the host system.

System Configuration

The coax host software generation requirements of the 6287 ALLY PLUS are generally the same as the requirements for an IBM 3287 or 3289 printer with SCS support. Except where stated otherwise, the coax host software system requirements are the same as for an IBM 3174, 3274 or 3276 control unit with 3287 or 3289 printers attached.

To function properly, the ALLY PLUS/printer combination must be defined to the coax host system as a 3287 printer with a 4K maximum physical buffer and/or with whatever other features are required by the application and are supported by the ALLY PLUS. The ALLY PLUS does not support 3287-type options such as Program Symbols.

The ALLY PLUS is classified as a “Category A” device, and it can be attached to an IBM 4300 system with an integral Display Printer Adapter (DPA) or to an IBM 3174, 3274 or 3276 control unit configured with a Type A device adapter. The ALLY PLUS does not emulate a Category B device, and it will not work if attached to a Type B device adapter.

(Devices such as CRTs and printers that connect to IBM 3270 control units are classified as either Category A or Category B devices. All new control units are configured with Type A device adapters. The Category B devices are those that are supported by IBM 3271 and 3272 control units configured with Type B device adapters. 3274 control units can also be configured with Type B device adapters for support of Category B devices.)

6287 specifications

The Xerox 6287 is a versatile multifunction printer (MFP) that has made a significant impact in various office environments since its release. Renowned for its reliability and performance, the Xerox 6287 seamlessly combines printing, copying, scanning, and faxing capabilities, making it an ideal solution for businesses that require efficient document management.

One of the standout features of the Xerox 6287 is its impressive print speed, reaching up to 28 pages per minute. This level of efficiency ensures that high-volume printing tasks are completed quickly, allowing users to focus on other essential aspects of their work. The printer supports a maximum print resolution of 1200 x 2400 dpi, delivering sharp text and vibrant images for a wide range of document types.

The Xerox 6287 is designed with an advanced color printing technology, incorporating Xerox’s patented EA (Emulsion Aggregate) toner. EA toner offers high-quality color reproduction while minimizing environmental impact, making the printer a sustainable choice for organizations looking to reduce their carbon footprint.

In addition to traditional printing capabilities, the Xerox 6287 facilitates advanced scanning features. Users can digitize documents with ease, and the printer provides options for both simplex and duplex scanning. The scanning resolution can reach up to 600 x 600 dpi, ensuring that even the finest details are captured accurately.

Another notable characteristic of the Xerox 6287 is its user-friendly interface. The printer comes equipped with a large color touchscreen display that simplifies navigation through various functions and settings. This intuitive interface enhances user experience and minimizes the learning curve for new operators.

Connectivity options are abundant with the Xerox 6287. It supports USB, Ethernet, and wireless connections, making it easy to integrate into existing network infrastructures. Users can also leverage mobile printing capabilities, allowing them to print documents directly from their smartphones or tablets via apps such as Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print.

Security is a top priority for the Xerox 6287, which features a range of built-in security features to protect sensitive information. These include secure print, user authentication, and data encryption, ensuring that documents remain secure throughout their lifecycle.

With its combination of efficiency, quality, and advanced features, the Xerox 6287 stands out as a premier choice for businesses looking to enhance their document management processes while maintaining a sustainable and secure printing environment.
