XEROX APPLICATIONS

General Information

Xerox printers supported by the ALLY PLUS include the following models: 2700, 3700, 4010, 4011, 4030, 4045, 4197, 4213, 4220, 4235 and 4700. The ALLY PLUS has a number of special features that support Xerox printer functions.

Normally, the ALLY PLUS controls the formatting of documents received from the IBM host by using the SCS (SNA Character String) commands embedded in the document. The ALLY PLUS translates the SCS codes into sequences of PFSs (programmable function strings).

If the user chooses a value of 00 for Option #00, the ALLY PLUS will automatically program the PFSs for resetting, bolding, underlining and overstriking appropriately for Xerox printers. If the user selects a value of 02 for Option #00, special escape sequences for a Xerox 4213 laser printer will be programmed.

The ALLY PLUS also supports Xerox transparency, triggered by 36h in the data stream. Refer to Option #61 in Section 3 — Configuration for details on Xerox 36h transparency. Additionally, PFSs %61-%63 are reserved for Xerox applications that require special tray commands (refer to Section 4

— Programmable Function Strings).

Other special Xerox features supported include Metacode, UDKs (user- defined keys) and XPAF. ALLY PLUS implementation of these features is described below.

User-Defined Keys (UDKs)

The ALLY PLUS offers special support for Xerox printers in XDPM mode, also referred to as XES mode or UDK mode. XES mode is the native Xerox print mode for Xerox 2700, 3700, 4030, 4045 and 4213 printers. The XDPM mode on the 4235 also provides the XES command set.

Commands that control these printers are always preceded by an escape character. The escape character is sometimes not a legal character in a mainframe environment. Therefore, UDKs (or User-Defined Keys) were implemented to allow any one of 256 different characters to be assigned as the escape character. The ALLY PLUS keeps track of which character is currently being used as the UDK.

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.
