PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTION STRINGS

%22 — LU1 End Bracket

If Option #54 is enabled, this PFS is sent to the printer when an End

Bracket indicator is presented by the host. The user should ordinarily define

this PFS with a printer reset command, or with an emulation switching

command for a multimode printer.

%23 — Switch to Serial Port 1 Host

When switching from any other host (or neutral) to the serial port 1

(SERIAL 1) alternate host, this PFS is sent out.

%24 — Serial Port 1 Host Finished

After all serial port 1 (SERIAL 1) alternate host data has been processed,

this PFS is sent out.

%25 — Switch to Serial Port 2 Host

When switching from any other host (or neutral) to the serial port 2

(SERIAL 2) alternate host, this PFS is sent out.

%26 — Serial Port 2 Host Finished

After all serial port 2 (SERIAL 2) alternate host data has been processed,

this PFS is sent out.

%27 — LU1 Bind

A job boundary PFS used when Option #57 is enabled. Before data may be

sent to a device like the ALLY PLUS, the host must perform a “bind” with

that device. This PFS, if it has been programmed, is sent to the printer when

that bind occurs; by default there is no data in this PFS. A typical use of this

feature is to offset printing or to reset the printer. On a Xerox 4213 (or other

multimode printer) this PFS could be used to change emulations.

%28 — LU1 Unbind

A job boundary PFS used when Option #57 is enabled. If an LU1 bind has

occurred and an LU3 bind is attempted, the ALLY PLUS will send an LU1

unbind PFS to the printer. This is another logical place to perform resetting

of the printer (or an emulation change). By default there is no data in this

PFS.
