to any port and executes the first print job received from any enabled port and then advances to the next enabled port in the sequence. The sequential polling is: Parallel, Serial, AppleTalk, Other I/O, and then back to Parallel. *

F Priority--this scheme allows you to assign a
high priority to one enabled port (Parallel, 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 and bumps other jobs with lower priority ports down the queue.

SET INTERFACE MENU ITEM DESCRIPTIONS

Your printer comes with twinax or coax, parallel Centronics and serial (RS-232C) interfaces enabled. Use this menu to configure the interfaces to meet the needs of your operation.
Serial and parallel Centronics communication use special communication parameters. Refer to your host computer software manuals for details and make sure your computer and your printer are using identical settings for each of the serial and parallel Centronics parameters. In most cases, you can use the factory default settings because they are suitable for most office situations.

Parallel, Serial, and Other I/O (Twinax or Coax)

The parallel, serial and Other I/O (twinax or coax) interface menu items have two common options:

F Robust 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.
F Data 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.

Page Size

The default page size is set with a 2-pin jumper (ST1). The jumper is turned OFF by placing the jumper shunt over only one pin, as shown in the illustration below. The jumper is turned ON by covering both pins. Turning the jumper OFF sets the page size default to U. S. (8.5x11). Turning the jumper ON sets the page size default to European A4 (8.27x11.69).

Print Language

The default print language is determined by the placement of a shunt over a 3-pin jumper (ST2). The illustration below shows the jumper configuration. The printer works properly only with the jumper in the standard configuration. The shunt should always be placed over the two pins closest to the edge of the interface card.
DO NOT move the jumper shunt. The jumper

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
Xerox Coax Command Reference
for instructions and a complete listing of coax printers the 4219/MRP and 4215/MRP can emulate.

The address switch is used for setting both the emulation and the printer address. If you change the printer emulation, you must then reset the printer device address. Use the two part process described below to change the printer emulation in a twinax environment.
In the first part of the process you set the printer emulation. To have your printer emulate one of the printers (listed in Table 3-
1), follow this procedure:
Step 1. Switch the printer off. Step 2. Disconnect the twinaxial T-cable from the
printer.

The 4219/MRP and 4215/MRP offer dual printer emulation capabilities in which a twinax interface card can be configured to emulate an IPDS and an SCS printer simultaneously.
Sharing the printer between IPDS and SCS emulations requires the use of the FSL 37 command. Refer to the for further information.

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:
F Change your selection at the menu. F Select a different font through your
application software.
F Send 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.
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, follow these steps:

PRINTING FROM THE MANUAL FEED TRAY

The Manual Feed Tray is used for printing on special papers such as labels, envelopes, and transparencies.
To print on odd-sized or nonstandard weight (16 to 32 lb or 60 to 120 gsm) papers or special 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 either:
F Send a command from your host computer to
the printer requesting manual feed, or
F Select Manual Feed at the control panel, by
accessing the Control Panel Main Menu.

Face-up Output Tray

When you use special materials, it is recommended that you use the Face-up Output Tray as the output tray. The paper path from the manual feed slot to the Face-up Output Tray is straighter and is less likely to jam on special materials, i.e. transparencies.

USING THE MANUAL FEED TRAY

When you send a job to the printer and manual feed has been selected as the paper source, the following message displays:

NOTE: A paper jam can occur if paper is fed into the manual feed slot before this message appears. Paper jams and other errors are accompanied by a beeper sound.
