FPriority--this scheme allows you to assign a

AppleTalk, Serial, or Other I/O). All other
ports have the same lower priority. If new
jobs are received from the priority port
before the jobs on the other ports have
begun executing, the port with the high
priority gets its print jobs printed first

ports down the queue.

with this
setting, the printer recognizes only the
standard PostScript page description
language to describe the appearance of a
printed page. Some of the 256 characters
used by PostScript are interpreted as

FRobust Xon/Xoff--this data stream handshake
2-31
is an extension of the Xon/Xoff data stream
handshake. If no data is received within
one second of the transmission of an Xon, it
sends additional Xon characters at one
second intervals.
FData Terminal Ready (DTR)--the DTR line
indicates whether or not the printer can
receive data (READY) or not (BUSY). When
the printer is READY, the DTR signal
switches to a HIGH state (unless the DTR
line has been set to inverted operation, in
which it switches to a low state) as a
request for data.
The printer requests data when the print
buffer is near empty.
The printer switches DTR to BUSY when the
print buffer is near full. When the printer
is turned on, the DTR signal is held at BUSY
until the printer has completed SELF TEST
and WARM UP.
Baud Rate (Serial) The Baud Rate is the rate at
which the information is sent from the host
computer to the printer. Baud rate is measured
in bits per second (bps). The factory default
9600
setting is *
and this setting is normally
appropriate, but the setting must correspond to
the baud rate setting at the host computer.
The following baud rates are supported: 300,
600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and 38400.

SETTING THE PRINTER EMULATION AND
DEVICE ADDRESS
You may need to change the printer emulation or
printer device address settings at a later
date. Changing the printer emulation and
device address does not require removing the
twinax interface card from the printer.
Procedures for changing the printer emulation
or device address are included in this section.
All other interface card configuration changes
require the removal of the card from the
printer and should be done only by your Xerox
service representative.
NOTE: The coaxial default settings for the
printer device address and printer emulation
can only be set through the FSL Function.
Refer to the

SELECTING FONTS
Fonts are selected through your application
software, through printer commands to select a
font, or for PCL 5 at the control panel. The
font you select is used unless you change it.
Fonts are selected by the Xerox Configuration
and Resource Utility for Twinax and Coax
printing.
Default Font for the PCL 5 Mode
You may select a default font for the PCL 5
mode either through a PCL 5 command set,
through your application software, or by
accessing the PCL 5 SETUP option at the Printer
Setup Menu. The default font you select at the
menu is used unless you:
FChange your selection at the menu.
FSelect a different font through your
application software.
FSend a printer command to select a font with
your document.
A factory default font has been established for
the PCL 5 mode and is listed on the Printer
Setup Menu for the PCL 5 SETUP.
SENDING A PRINT JOB

If the Xerox IPDS option is installed, then
IPDS data also is supported by the printer.
NOTE: The Other I/O (twinax or coax) interface
must always be set for “Emulation sensing” to
function for processing IBM SCS or IPDS data.
To dedicate a communications port to receive a
specific printer language, refer to Chapter 2,
“Using the Control Panel.” For an example of
how to do this, refer to “Printer Configuration
Examples” in Chapter 2.
Send a job from your host computer to be
printed. Refer to the manual provided with
your application software or host operating
system for specific instructions on printing.
LAST PAGE IS NOT EJECTED
If “Waiting...” still displays after the
printer activity has stopped and no more pages
are ejected, refer to the following.
When Using PCL 5 Command Set or IBM SCS or
IPDS emulations
You must manually eject the remaining page of
the document or wait until the printer times
out. When the printer times out, the remaining
page prints. To manually eject the page,

transparencies.
To print on odd-sized or nonstandard weight (16

materials, such as labels or transparencies,
you must use the Manual Feed Tray to manually
insert one sheet at a time.
To use the Manual Feed Tray, it is necessary to

FSend a command from your host computer to
the printer requesting manual feed, or
FSelect Manual Feed at the control panel, by
accessing the Control Panel Main Menu.

Preventing Manual Feed Problems
It is important to carefully follow the manual
feeding procedures to reduce the risk of paper
handling problems, such as paper jams and
skewed images (print appears on the sheet out
of alignment, slanted at an angle).
Paper jams are usually the result of early
feeds. The sheet is fed before the preceding
sheet has cleared the paper path by dropping
onto the output tray.
NOTE: If paper jams do occur, refer to the
“Clearing a Paper Jam and Resuming the Job,”
section in Chapter 5, “Care and Maintenance,”
for the correct way to clear the jammed paper.
A skewed image is usually the result of:
