Introduction Xerox LS 3270 - 4 - 1. Introduction to the Xerox LS 3270 This chapter gives a short description of the Xerox LS 3270 and its installation requirements. 1.1. What is the Xerox LS 3270? The Xerox LS 3270 is a protocol converter which enables any printer (or other output device) to be connected to an IBM computer sys tem.
Introduction Xerox LS 3270 - 5 - Changing the Driver To change from PCL to FSL driver or vice versa, first of all the rotary switch has to be in position T at power on . The current printer driver will be indicated on a printout. The actual selection of printer driver is then made by turning the rotary switch to position A (PCL) or B (FSL).
Introduction Xerox LS 3270 - 6 - 1.3 Supported Control Units The Xerox LS 3270 connects to the following control units: • IBM 3174 All models • IBM 3274 All models (A -adapter) • IBM 3276 All mo.
Introduction Xerox LS 3270 - 7 - 1.5 Paper Size Defaul t (US/EU) When you receive th e Xerox LS 327 0 , the box is ready to connect to the system and to the printer. From the factory, th e Xerox LS 3270 interface is set up for either US (Letter) or European (A4) paper size (depending on what you specified when ordering the Xerox LS 327 0 ).
Installation Xerox LS 3270 - 8 - 2. Installation of the Xerox LS 3270 This chapter starts with an overview of the functionality of the front panel. Then follows a description of how you connect the Xerox LS 3270 box to a printer.
Installation Xerox LS 3270 - 9 - ROTARY SWITCH The rotary switch is used for changing the output driver (PCL or FSL) and for generating a TEST print. See the section 1.1.1, PCL or FSL output Driver for information on changing the driver and the section 2.
Installation Xerox LS 3270 - 10 - Printer Cable: The Xerox LS 3270 does not necessarily have to be plugged directly into the Centronics Input Port of your printer. An extention Centronics cable can be ordered for distance connection between the Xerox LS 3270 and your printer.
Installation Xerox LS 3270 - 11 - using the rotary switch (see section 1.1.1, PCL or FSL output Driver for details). 2.2.3 Automatic Power Supply Control The Xerox LS 3270 will perform a power supply control to see if there is sufficient power on the unit.
Installation Xerox LS 3270 - 12 - 2.3. Testing PCL driver: The default configuration of the interface will suffice for most application programs and uses. You should only change the configuration shown in the test printout if you have special requirements.
Installation Xerox LS 3270 - 13 - Keep the settings printout together with this manual for future reference. Settings Printout using FSL Y120 (PCL mode only) A settings printout can also be generated at power-on by activating function Y120 2 . 2.4. Timeout The Xerox LS 3270 enables printer sharing between the system and a PC.
Operation Xerox LS 3270 - 1 4 - 3 . Operation of th e Xerox LS 3270 Th e Xerox LS 327 0 top panel has been designed to register the operation of the box via the following indicator LEDs : • CU (contact to Control Unit) • PA R (parallel input) See the illustration in the sectio n Knowing the Front Pane l for the position of the LEDs.
Specifying Timeout Xerox LS 3270 - 15 - 4. Specifying Timeout In order to specify the timeout for a specific input port, an FSL ( F unction S election via the Line) sequence must be sent to the port in question. To do this a tempo rary Escape (ESC) Character must be defined first.
Specifying Timeout Xerox LS 3270 - 16 - The new setup must be saved in the NVRAM 3 with the following command ("%" is the ESC Character): %X1 The FSL string above was split up into several lines for reasons of clarification to simplify the explanation of the different functions.
Programming the Xerox LS 3270 Xerox LS 3270 - 17 - 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.
