11.8. Output Data

The Xerox FS 5250 supports the following printer languages:

PCL (see the section: "Printer Driver Selection" for details)

XES

-XDPM ISO

-XDPM EBCDIC

-XPPM EBCDIC

-XPPM ASCII

XDPM(Xerox Distributed Print Mode) is based on the data stream for Xerox 2700 and is supported by most decentralised Xerox printers.

XPPM (Xerox Production Mode) is the data stream for the Xerox 9700 printer range. Xerox 4235 and some versions of the Xerox 3700 printer support the XPPM data stream.

XDPM ISO

This is the default output in XES mode. The output can be further modified using function 36. See table A. The output is selected by setting function 70 to 1.

XDPM EBCDIC

This mode provides compatibility with the Xerox 275 converter and is selected by setting function 70 to 0.

XPPM EBCDIC

This mode supports XPPM EBCDIC applications with DJDE controls and Metacodes.

Note that the Metacodes have to be transferred using IBM Transparent (TRN) commands. This output is selected by setting function 70 to 2.

XPPM ASCII

This mode supports XPPM ASCII applications with DJDE controls. The output is selected by setting function 70 to 1 and function 36 to 3.

Note that the translation of the "$" character must be changed from ISO to ASCII using function 75 (%Y75,5B,00,Z4%)
