NOTE:
This section is a brief description of how to set up the interface from
the line using FSL Functions.
The guidelines in this section are very basic and limit themselves to what
you need to know. For further details on the supported FSL functions, you
are referred to the Programmers Guide, doc. no. D62081. The Programmer's
Guide will contain a complete list of the supported functions with description,
notes and examples.
FSL functions are special commands in the data stream which set up the
Xerox FS 5250 and consequently the printer to function in a specific way.
Some FSL Functions differ according to whether you are in PCL or in XES
mode.
Appendix A of this manual contains a  Quick Reference Guide
 to the FSL
functions. This list only comprises the syntax and parameters of the
supported FSL functions. The reference guide will contain remarks on
deviations as to XES or PCL
8.1. Syntax of an FSL Function
The special sequence that the interface will interpret as an FSL Function is
shown below:
%Y<function number>,<parameters>%
where % is the defined escape character. See the description below on the
Escape Character.
