CONFIGURATION

Configuration Groups

The ALLY PLUS configuration options are organized into 9 groups

numbered 00 through 80. Below is a description of each option and how it

affects the operation of the ALLY PLUS.

Printer Output (Group #00)

This configuration group allows the user to define the printer type, to

specify serial or parallel output, to select ASCII or EBCDIC character sets,

and to enable or disable specific plotter types. To determine which settings

are appropriate, refer to the printer user’s manual.

00 — Printer type (Xerox, HP, 4213, other)

This option tells the ALLY PLUS the escape sequences (or programmable

function strings) that should be used for special functions such as resetting

the printer or bolding text. Each printer type has its own escape sequences.

The programmable function strings in the ALLY PLUS are set up according

to the printer type that is selected. If Choice #03 is selected (the default), no

programmable function strings will be installed.
For example, the reset PFS for Xerox printers is s+X CR/LF. When

Xerox is selected, PFS %00 (reset printer) becomes 1B 2B 58 0D 0A. The

Xerox selection has other implications (see Section 9 — Xerox

Applications).
A complete list of the programmable function strings defined with each

choice can be found in the appendix under Programmable Function String

Report.
Use these values to program this option:
