73 — Xerox graphic window support

XPAF (Xerox Printer Access Facility) allows AFPDS (Advanced Function

Printing Data Stream) data to be converted for use by Xerox centralized and

decentralized printers. XPAF uses forms, fonts and graphic windows to

build images. When this option is enabled, the ALLY PLUS detects graphic

windows, and it strips away corrupting characters, such as new lines, that

may be inserted into the data stream by the host. Use these sequences to

enable or disable this feature:

!ALLY!73=00;

feature is disabled (default)

!ALLY!73=01;

feature is enabled

Note: This option must be set to 00 (disabled) if Option #02 — Character

set is set to 01 (EBCDIC) or 02 (Switchable).

74 — Allow EBCDIC font downloads

XPAF (Xerox Printer Access Facility) allows AFPDS (Advanced Function

Printing Data Stream) data to be converted for use by Xerox centralized and

decentralized printers. XPAF uses forms, fonts and graphic windows to

build images. When this option is enabled, the ALLY PLUS detects font

downloads, and it strips away corrupting characters, such as new lines, that

may be inserted into the data stream by the host.
This feature also allows EBCDIC fonts supplied by Xerox to be converted

to ASCII, and this allows the user to avoid purchasing ASCII fonts the user

already owns in host-based EBCDIC font format. (Xerox supplies fonts in

EBCDIC format, but many users prefer to operate their printers in ASCII.)

Use these sequences to enable or disable this feature:

!ALLY!74=00;

feature is disabled (default)

!ALLY!74=01;

feature is enabled

Note: This option must be set to 00 (disabled) if Option #02 — Character

set is set to 01 (EBCDIC) or 02 (Switchable).
