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. The printer or d[...]

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). The new[...]

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. 3.1 . Indic[...]

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. This is done in the following way: &&??<character> The[...]
