Deactivating the Y249 Engineering Function | Xerox FS 5250 IPC

Programming via Shareport

Xerox FS 5250, User’s Guide

If you have defined % as Escape Character, you activate the engi neering function by typing:

%Y249,n%

n = password. As this is sensitive information, system operators can contact their point of purchase for password details.

12.2. Deactivating the Y249 Engineering Function

The function will be deactivated automatically after timeout on the share port (timeout is defined in Y100 Port Sharing Option). See also the chapter "Specifying Share Timeout and String".

12.3. Limitations when Y249 is active

Escape sequences must be in HEX

Unprintable characters (i.e. the escape character) must be defined in HEX notation if they are to be part of the setup print job. Only the FSL sequences are allowed.

12.4. Updating firmware

The Xerox FS 5250 firmware (complete firmware) may be updated either via the twinax line or via Centronics input port.

For further information please contact your point of purchase.
