Xerox FS 5250 IPC Sending the commands from the system, Example ??%%Y100,20,1B,45%%X1

Selected FSL Functions

Xerox FS 5250, User’s Guide

The new setup must be saved in the NVRAM 9 with the following command (where "%" is the escape character):

%X1

NOTE: %X1% will delete the temporary escape character.

The FSL string above was split up into several lines for reasons of clarification to simplify the explanation of the different functions. The timeout string must though be a one line command sequence. Below is an example where the FSL string is typed in one line.

Example:

&&??%%Y100,20,1B,45%%X1

The FSL string above has the following effect:

∙Defines % as ESC character

∙Sets timeout to 20 seconds

∙Send 1B 45 HEX before the next data transmission.

∙Saves setup in the NVRAM and deletes "%" as escape character

NOTE:

FSL 100 works on the port it is sent to. If it is sent to the parallel or serial input port, the string containing the Function 100 programming will be printed when it is sent to the Xerox FS 5250.

The easiest way to send the string from the system is to create a new file, enter the commands, and send the file to the printer.
