Transparency Modes (Group #60)

Most ASCII and EBCDIC printers have features that are not available on IBM printers. If the user’s host application is aware that the destination of the data may be a non-IBM printer attached to a protocol converter, the application can take advantage of the printer’s advanced features. To activate a particular printer feature, the application will send a transparent command in the data stream. (Refer to the printer user’s manual for a list of available printer commands.)

A transparent printer command, or transparency, consists of a trigger (character code) followed by the sequence that will activate a particular printer feature. The trigger alerts the protocol converter that the data that follows it is a printer command that should be sent directly to the printer without translation. If the appropriate form of transparency is activated in this option group, the ALLY PLUS will recognize the trigger and respond appropriately to that form of transparency. The ALLY PLUS can use standard IBM 35h and Xerox 36h transparency, and the ALLY PLUS also provides its own versions of transparency.

Note: If the user or the user’s application embeds transparent or pseudo transparent strings in the data stream, Option #12 — SCS right margin and Option #22 — DSC right margin should be set to 00 (infinite line length), Option #14 — SCS bottom margin and Option #24 — DSC bottom margin should be set to 00 (infinite page length), and Option #70 — DisplayWrite 370 support should be set to 00 (disabled). Otherwise, unpredictable formatting errors could occur.

60 — Allow IBM 35h transparency

This form of transparency is valid only in SCS data streams. In IBM 35h transparency, the trigger character is 35h, and it indicates the start of the transparent data stream. The 35h is followed by a count byte that indicates the length, in bytes, of the transparent data stream, not counting the count byte itself. The count byte is followed by the actual data to be sent. For instance, the following code will send a Xerox 4045 printer reset command (s+X CR/LF) using 35h transparency:

35051B2B580D0A

This includes the trigger (35), the count byte (05), and the three bytes for s+X CR/LF (1B, 2B, 58, 0D, 0A).

The user can generate any possible 8-bit command or data byte that is to be sent to the printer. There is a one-to-one correspondence between what is received by the ALLY PLUS and what is sent to the printer.

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.
