6287 ALLY PLUS User’s Manual

If the report prints garbage:

The ALLY PLUS may be incorrectly configured for ASCII or EBCDIC (the default is ASCII). This setting can be changed using Mode A from the front panel.

Coax Host Verification

After successfully printing a General Configuration Report, verify the coax host connection to the ALLY PLUS by sending a Local Copy or a typical host-generated print transaction to the printer. Refer to the system documentation for instructions. Verify that the transaction is properly formatted and output by the printer.

If it does not print:

Check that the ALLY PLUS and the host are securely connected to the coax cable, and that the decimal point on the ALLY PLUS LED is on, indicating a proper connection.

A flashing decimal point indicates that the controller is in slow poll mode (i.e., that a connection is not established between the ALLY PLUS and the controller). To correct the problem, power off the ALLY PLUS, then turn it back on.

Refer to Section 3 — Configuration for detailed instructions on configuration, check the settings of Option Group #50 in the General Configuration Report, and change the settings as needed.

Refer to Section 6 — Coax Host Considerations. Check that the ALLY PLUS is connected to a Category A device adapter. Make certain that the ALLY PLUS is defined to the host as an LU1 or LU3, and as a 3287 printer with a maximum of 4K physical buffer space (and/or with other features required by the application and supported by the ALLY PLUS). If using VTAM or another Network Control Program, confirm that the ALLY PLUS is defined as a type 2 physical unit.

If the print output is not formatted correctly:

Refer to the printer user’s manual for the commands necessary to format the printer’s output to suit the needs of the application.

Refer to Section 3 — Configuration for detailed instructions on configuration, check the settings of Option #00, Option Group #10, Option Group #20, Option Group #30, Option Group #60 and Option #70 in the General Configuration Report, and change the settings as needed.
