Xerox EBCDIC Font Downloads

This feature was developed to eliminate the need for both EBCDIC and ASCII fonts to be resident on the mainframe, and at the same time allow the protocol converter to be in ASCII output mode at all times. This is an important feature to ALLY PLUS users who require the alternate host port(s) for PC-type data.

When the ALLY PLUS sees s+A or s+F, a font is being sent by the host. Fonts are terminated by a sequence of ten or more “Ts.” 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 #74 — Allow EBCDIC font downloads should be set to 01 (enabled).

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

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 ALLY PLUS 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. Here is the host data as it might appear:

35 10 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E 4F

With the Metacode option turned ON, the printer sees the identical data stream.

With the Metacode option turned OFF, the 35 and the count byte (10) are eliminated:

40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 4A 4B 4C 4D 4E 4F

Refer to Option #72 in Section 3 — Configuration. Users with applications that require a Metacode-capable printer should enable this option.
