Non-IPDS as primary emulation | Xerox FS 5250 IPC guide

Connections and Installation

Xerox FS 5250, User’s Guide

NOTE:

The device address (n2) must be different from the address switch setting or this command will only modify the primary printer emulation without creating a secondary.

One non-IPDS and one IPDS emulation can be defined.

The secondary printer device will be deleted if you attempt to configure two similar devices (e.g. two non-IPDS devices) or if Y37 is used without specifying n2.

For this change to become effective, you must turn power to the converter off for approx. 10 seconds and then back on.

Non-IPDS as primary emulation

If the primary printer emulation (set via the address switch) is set to non- IPDS, you can set the second emulation via the twinax port activating Y37.

E.g.

Primary emulation: non-IPDS (set via address switch)

Second emulation: %Y37,*IPDS,6%%X1

You have now a non-IPDS primary emulation, and a second IPDS emulation answering on device address 6.

As an alternative setup, you can also use the Centronics port activating function Y249, Enter Engineering Mode.

E.g.:
Primary emulation:	non-IPDS (set via address switch)
Second emulation:	2)
Second emulation:	%Y249, password%
	%Y37,*IPDS,5%%X1

IPDS as primary emulation

If the primary emulation is set to IPDS (set via the address switch) the only way to set a second emulation is through the Centronics port enabling function Y249, Enter Engineering Mode. You must still set function Y37 to the desired emulation.

E.g.

Primary emulation: IPDS (set via address switch)

Second emulation: %Y249,password% %Y37,3812,1%%X1
