5. Programming the Xerox LS 3270
The Xerox LS 3270 supports approximately 60 internal Setup
Functions (FSL Functions)4. When the protocol converter has been
installed and connected to a printer, you may have to consider the
use of these setup options.
FSL setup functions can be sent either from your IBM system or
from a PC.
PCL Driver (Default)
If you have decided to run the Xerox LS 3270 in PCL mode (see
Chapter 1), the Xerox LS 3270 is ready to operate after you have
completed the installation procedure. The factory default setup will
meet the demands of most host systems and users, and special
programming is therefore normally not required.
However, special circumstances may require changes in the
programming of the box. For full details on this please see the "
3270 Programmer's Guide" Document no. D62077. In the
Programmer's Guide you will find an extensive description of the
FSL Functions with notes, comments and examples.
FSL Driver
If you have decided to run the Xerox LS 3270 in FSL mode (see
Chapter 1), you have just selected an unprogrammed printer driver
and you need to program any further settings of the box using FSL
functions. The " 3270 Programmer's Guide" Document no.
D62077, gives you full details on how you do this.
On the following pages you will find a list of the
functions available in PCL mode and FSL mode
respectively.
