10.Programming the Xerox FS 5250 - Non-IPDS

The Xerox FS 5250 works using a large number of internal Setup Functions (FSL Functions) 3.

FSL setup functions can be sent either from your IBM system or from a PC.

When the protocol converter has been installed and connected to a printer, you may have to consider the use of these setup options.

The factory default setup will meet the demands of most host systems and users, and special programming is therefore normally not required.

If, however, special circumstances require you to make changes to the pro- gramming of the box, appendix A: ”Quick Reference Guide of the Supported FSL Functions” lists all the functions supported in XES and PCL mode. This list only describes the functions by their syntax and parameters, though. In the Programmer's Guide, doc. no. D62081, you will find an extensive description of the FSL Functions with notes, comments and examples.
