Xerox FS 5250 IPC instruction manual Twinax Connector

Connections and Installation Xerox FS 5250, User’s Guide

The serial input port is connected to the serial output on a PC or similar source able to share the printer with the host.

For this connection you need a cable ending in a 25-pole RS connector (order no. 999010 030).

To use the serial input, Function 24, " Data Input/Output Port Select " must be set to zero (Centronics out, which is factory default).

Y24 = 0 is also used for Centronics output.

You must also make the following settings on your PC to match the default settings on the box:

Function Y15: Baud rate, set to 5 = 9600

Function Y16: Number of data bits, set to 8 = 8 bits

Function Y17: Parity, set to 1 = No Parity

Function Y18: Number of Stop Bits, set to 1 = 1 Stop Bit

If this is not possible, you must change the functions 15, 16, 17 and 18 on the box to match the PC's values.

NOTE:

Programming of functions 15, 16, 17, 18 and 24 is not possible via the serial port. These functions have to be programmed either via the twinax or via the parallel input port.

TWINAX CONNECTOR

Before the twinax cable is connected, be sure to turn the box power OFF.

When power is turned off, plug the automatically terminating twinax T-cable(twin BNC cable) into the socket on the rear panel and turn the connector ring clockwise to lock.
