11. Selected FSL Functions

In this chapter, only the most basic functions are described, such as paper size, paper tray and font selection.

Appendix A: Quick Reference Guide to the FSL functions lists all the supported FSL functions with syntax and parameter

For detailed information on the entire range of the supported FSL functions with the Xerox FS 5250, you are referred to the Programmer's Guide, doc. no. D62081.

11.1. Paper Size

Function Y12: Paper Size

NOTE:

In XES, function Y62 must be programmed for this function to become effective.

Almost any printer will provide you with the facility of selecting various paper sizes, but there are different ways of changing paper size in the printer. In some cases you can use the application software to change it, you can send printer commands directly to the printer, or you can send commands to the interface from the system. This chapter only describes the procedure for changing paper through the interface.

11.1.1 Trays

If your printer has several paper trays with different paper sizes, remember to select the corresponding paper tray, when you change the paper size.

If your printer only has one paper tray with one paper size, you can perhaps buy additional paper trays for other paper sizes and change trays manually.

11.1.2 Changing paper size

You can change paper size by sending commands to the interface from the system.

The FSL function is primarily designed to inform the interface about the installed paper sizes during installation.
