Overview and printer setup
This chapter describes the operation of the Xerox MRP Family
printers internal interfaces in a coax environment.
Refer to the “Overview” chapter in your Xerox MRP Printer
Operator Guide
 for detailed descriptions of the features,
operating environment, hardware and software requirements of
your MRP Family printer.
Emulated printers
Your Xerox printer coax interface provides compatibility with
several IBM printers.  Its internal coax connectivity provides
superior performance and support for the vast majority of data
processing and office automation applications running on IBM
mid-range systems.
Your Xerox coax printer emulates existing IBM printers with no
changes to your present applications or procedures.  The internal
coax connectivity allows you to enable the data streams of the
Data Stream Compatibility (DSC), Systems Network Architecture
(SNA) Character String (SCS), or Intelligent Printer Data Stream
(IPDS) while still processing Printer Control Language (PCL) 5 or
PostScript Level 2 concurrently through serial or parallel ports.
