6287 ALLY PLUS User’s Manual

XPAF Support

XPAF (Xerox Printer Access Facility) accepts Advanced Function Printing Data Stream (AFPDS) data and converts it for use by Xerox printers (4030, 2700, 4045, 3700, etc.). When installed for use with one of these printers, XPAF expects to see a 3287-like device (such as the ALLY PLUS) at the end of the coax cable.

The ALLY PLUS is capable of supporting two important XPAF features. These are EBCDIC fonts and EBCDIC graphic windows. Originally intended for EBCDIC printers, these sequences can be sent to an ASCII printer when attached to the ALLY PLUS. These data types are sometimes corrupted by host system forms control. The AGILE 6287 ALLY PLUS takes this into consideration and strips away any forms control that might corrupt these data types.

The ALLY PLUS contains special translate tables to accommodate this feature. (These are not related to the user-definable translate and function tables referred to elsewhere in this manual. They are located in ROM and are unchangeable.) When either a font or graphic window is detected, these translate tables are in effect. At the end of the font or graphic window, the translate table is switched to the one in effect before the graphic window or font was detected.

Xerox Graphic Windows

When the ALLY PLUS sees (UDK)gw, a graphic window is being processed. The (UDK) is the user-defined key. Refer to the Xerox printer reference manual 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, Option #73 — Xerox graphic window support should be set to 01 (enabled).

Note: If Option #02 is set to 01 (EBCDIC) or 02 (Switchable), this option should be disabled.
