XDPE/400-supported interface boxes
XDPE/400 sends a reset FSL command (%X4) to the Flex i-data interface
after processing each spool file. Note these considerations:
•
•
If you have made changes to the default interface settings in a spool
file and want those changes to remain in effect for subsequent spool
files, each subsequent spool file must also contain those changes.
•
To make any permanent (session level) setting changes to the Flex
i-data interface, you must do so before starting a Monitor Queue
session.
XPPM considerations
If you use the 4235 printer in XPPM mode with the Flex i-data 5250
C/RS-Xerox interface, you must enable these options on the printer:
•
•
Elixir Form Download — AC
•
EBCDIC Parallel Meta/GHO Enabler — IB
•
GHO Application Processing — MP
•
Blank Lines with Fontindexing — FI
•
Prohibit Blank Page Before Banner — BC
XDPM considerations
With this interface, if XDPE/400 is controlling the tray selection via XES
packets or spool file attributes and you want to produce duplex output,
both the XES packet and the spool file (printer file) tray settings must
match. Because of this, it is recommended that the tray selection be made
by the interface box rather than using XDPE/400.
To control tray selection during duplex printing using XDPE/400, you must
To control tray selection during duplex printing using XDPE/400, you must
synchronize both the printer file and XES packet tray parameters. The
printer file parameter is DRAWER (n), where n is either the drawer
number or *E1 for the envelope feeder. The XES packet parameter is
TRAY (*TRAYn), where n is the tray number.
If you choose to set tray selection using the interface box, use this
If you choose to set tray selection using the interface box, use this
procedure:
Step 1.
Create a Flex i-data function 11 command to specify tray selection. The
command must be included in the spool file before any printable data.
This example selects tray 3:
&&??%
%Y11,6%
&&??
1First line of print data . . . ,
where
&&??%
where
&&??%
Sets a temporary i-data escape character. The % can be a
special character of your choice.
%Y11,n%
The function 11 command where n is 2 for tray one, 3 for tray
two, or 6 for tray three. % is the temporary escape character
defined in the first command.
&&??
Resets the temporary i-data escape character. Note the
command is five characters long and the underscore
following the second question mark specifies a blank
(required).
