Assignment of tasks during and after installation

You must select one or more operators and assign tasks to be performed during and after your 4235 LPS installation. Tasks include transmitting test jobs from the host computer system, loading optional fonts, and identifying the 4235 LPS to your host computer system.

Select an operator

You may want to designate an individual as the person responsible for the care of your 4235 LPS, or you may want to select a number of people so you have enough operators to cover absences, such as vacations and illness.

Operators receive maintenance training on installation day in order to perform the following tasks:

•

Power on the 4235 LPS.

•

Update the operating system files when required.

INSTALLATION PLANNING TASK

Tasks

•

Add paper.

•

Change the dry ink cartridge.

•

Change the print cartridge.

•

Clear paper misfeeds and jams.

•

Use the Xerox 4235 Laser Printing System Problem Solving Guide to correct faults.

•

Perform logon procedures when necessary.

•

Report non–correctable fault conditions to the Xerox service representative.

Once the 4235 LPS is installed, you should test it to ensure that it is working properly. The following three tasks should be performed:

•

Transmitting a test job

•

Loading fonts

•

Identifying the 4235 LPS to the host computer system.

XEROX 4235 LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 2-7

INSTALLATION PLANNING TASKS

Transmitting a test job

Make sure to have a test print job ready to be transmitted from your host computer system.

Loading fonts

You can purchase additional fonts on micro diskettes or magnetic tape for storage on the 4235 LPS hard disk.

•

You can load fonts on micro diskettes from the 4235 LPS micro diskette drive onto the hard disk drive using the screen menus.

•

You can download fonts on magnetic tape from the host computer system onto the 4235 LPS hard disk using printer commands.

Identifying the 4235 LPS to the host computer system

Host computer systems normally require parameters to identify system components. These parameters define and name the devices that are part of the host computer system, such as printers, terminals, and so forth.

The first step in integrating the 4235 LPS is to identify it to the host computer system. Refer to the "Host computer system generation" chapter, which outlines parameters designed to integrate the 4235 LPS into a number of different host computer systems. These descriptions outline the most important considerations for typical installations.

If the 4235 LPS is replacing an existing printer, you may want to wait until the 4235 LPS is installed before identifying it to your host computer system.

If you are adding the 4235 LPS as a new laser printing system, it should be identified to the host computer system before installation.

Selecting the interface

6. System configuration

This chapter contains information to help you determine the proper system configuration for your 4235 Laser Printing System (LPS). The following checklists are provided:

Checklist 10: Parallel system configuration

•

Checklist 11: Serial system configuration–SNA/SDLC

•

Checklist 12: Serial system configuration–asynchronous

•

Checklist 13: Serial system configuration–bisynchronous.

•

You must complete checklist 10 and either checklist 11, 12, or 13, depending on your choice of serial interface.

The 4235 LPS receives data from a host computer system through a parallel and serial interface. Only one parallel and one serial interface can run concurrently. For example, you cannot successfully connect the bisynchronous and SNA/SDLC or two parallel interfaces at the same time. Figure 6–1 shows the various 4235 LPS interface option choices.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Port configuration

Parallel interface information

Select the interface for each of the two ports. You select the actual interface setup using the 4235 LPS menu dialog at the time of installation. Only one parallel and one serial interface can run concurrently. You can select one of the following interfaces:

•

Parallel: Data Products or Centronics

•

Serial: SNA / SDLC, asynchronous, or bisynchronous.

You must fill out Checklist 10 for your parallel interface selections, and Checklist 11, 12, or 13 for your serial interface selections, before your Xerox service representative can successfully install your 4235 LPS.

Parallel communication allows the transmission of data over a group of wires simultaneously.

Centronics 100 interface

Parallel cable

Two emulation modes are available with the parallel interface: one is compatible with Centronics 100 (or equivalent) interface, and the other is compatible with a DataProducts standard 2260 (or equivalent) interface.

The parallel interface accepts 7–bit or 8–bit ASCII encoded data at rates up to 200 KBytes per second. EBCDIC and ISO 6937 character encoding schemes assume 8–bit encoding. When you use XPPM, ISO 6937 selection defaults to 8–bit ASCII.

The Centronics interface uses a 36–pin Amphenol 57–40360 connector. This connector mates with an Amphenol 57–30360 connector.

Note:

The connector part numbers for countries other than the United States may differ from those numbers listed later in this chapter.

You need to order a Centronics or DataProducts parallel cable to connect your host computer system to the 4235 LPS. If you do not have one, contact your Xerox sales representative to order one. To make sure the cable is available on the day of installation, place the order approximately four weeks prior to the installation date.

Make sure the parallel interface cable is in compliance with

U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations regarding electromagnetic emissions or any similar regulations applicable within the country in which you operate your 4235 LPS. The parallel interface cable must also meet the following specifications:

6–2 XEROX 4235 LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Type: Twisted pairs, overall foil or braid shield

Number of conductors: 15 pairs Wire size: 22 AWG stranded Cable length: Length should not exceed 10 feet (3.1 m) Shield connection: To the connector conductive case at the 4235

printer; to the frame ground at the data source

Cable connector: Male

Table 6–1 lists the pin assignments and signals for the Centronics interface.

The main control signals are BUSY, SELECT, and FAULT. At power–up, BUSY is at logic one, and SELECT and FAULT are at logic zero. BUSY indicates that the 4235 LPS cannot receive data (normally, BUSY cycles from logic zero to one and back to zero again once for every byte received). SELECT and FAULT change to logic one after warm–up and remain at logic one as long as the 4235 LPS is powered up.

The Centronics interface does not support the following codes:

•

The programmable paper feed code (1CH, octal 034)

•

The elongated character code (0EH, octal 016)

•

The character density code (12H, octal 022)

•

The delete code (7FH, octal 177), which is used to print either an error character or an assigned character.

A low signal has a voltage in the range of 0.0 V to 0.4 V. It should not exceed a peak negative voltage of –0.5 V. However, received signals should be recognized as low signals if the voltage is +0.8 V or less.

The 4235 LPS interface requires up to –2.6 ma at +2.4 V for a high output signal and requires up to 14 ma for a low output signal.

The 4235 LPS supports bursts of data that are at least 512 bytes long at a rate of up to 100 KB per second through the Centronics interface. The average data transfer rate is 15 KB per second.

The DataProducts interface connector is equivalent to a 50–pin Winchester connector. The Winchester MRA 50S D5J connector mates with a Winchester MRAC 50P JTCH connector using 50 1020P pins.

The main control signals are DEMAND, READY, and ONLINE. At power–up, the DEMAND, READY, and ONLINE signals are at logic zero. The DEMAND signal cycles from logic one to zero for every byte received when the 4235 LPS is receiving data. When the DEMAND signal is at logic zero, it indicates that the 4235 cannot receive data. The READY and ONLINE

XEROX 4235 LPS INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE 6–5

signals change to logic one after warm–up and remain at logic one as long as the 4235 LPS is powered on.

The following are fault conditions:

•

Front door open

•

Paper misfeed or jam

•

Output tray full

•

Input paper source empty

•

Paper tray handle unlatched

•

Missing print cartridge

•

Any other printer fault code

•

4235 LPS powered off

•

4235 LPS taken offline from system controller.

When any of these conditions occur, the 4235 LPS continues to

spool the data to the print file. If you do not correct the fault condition and the print file becomes full, DEMAND changes to logic zero and data receipt is suspended until you clear the fault.

The DataProducts 2260 interface does not support symmetric

logic signals intended for a long–line interface.

DataProducts–specific options

Selection of the DataProducts interface enables the selection of one further function. You can enable or disable the Vertical Format Unit (VFU) emulation; however, when you enable VFU, the XPPM formatter does not support it.

You may assign Data Bit 8 to appear on pin pair d–f or p–s. If you use VFU, the Xerox service representative must define the pin pair p–s by setting a dip switch on the SPC board.

0 (zero) and +5VDC (nominal), TTL (SN 74LS00 series)

A high signal is defined as a voltage in the range of +2.4V to

+5V, not to exceed a peak of +5.5V. A low signal is defined as a voltage in the range of 0.0V to

0.4V, not to exceed a peak negative voltage of –0.5V.

However, for received signals, a voltage of up to +0.8V should

be recognized as a low signal.

Current requirements

The 4235 LPS interface sources up to –2.6 milliampere (mA) at

+2.4V for a high output signal and sync up to 14 mA for a low

output. The 7414 ICs are used for data receivers with 220/330 ohm

terminating resistors, and 74LS244 or 74LS240 ICs are used as

drivers for positive or negative interfaces respectively, and for

READY, ONLINE, and DEMAND.

Data rates

The 4235 LPS supports burst data rates of up to 200 Kbytes per

second for at least 512 bytes through the DataProducts

interface. The sustained data transfer rate is 15Kbytes per

second.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Serial interface information

SNA/SDLC

Serial data communications allows data to transmit sequentially, one bit at a time, over a single wire.

The 4235 LPS supports asynchronous, SNA/SDLC, and bisynchronous serial communications. The interface connections conform to the RS232–C standard of EIA and CCITT regulations V24/V28. Point–to–point operation is supported and may occur over switched or leased lines in half or full duplex mode. The connector used on the 4235 LPS is a 25–pin female "D" type.

You must configure the 4235 LPS for EBCDIC character encoding when it is used with a host computer system that uses EBCDIC. When the text is EBCDIC encoded, you must use transparent transmission to download ASCII encoded fonts.

Asynchronous

Bisynchronous

In XDPM, the internal SNA/SDLC interface allows the 4235 LPS to function in either of two modes: as a simulation of an IBM 3777 (IBM mode) or in Xerox Pass Through mode. Data is accepted in either the 4235 LPS or punch ports. IBM mode and Pass Through mode selections have no effect in XPPM.

The asynchronous interface uses two 2,000–byte input buffers and supports ETX/ACK and XON/XOFF protocols at data rates between 300 and 19,200 bits/second. Asynchronous communication is not supported in XPPM.

The bisynchronous communication interface allows the 4235 LPS to respond to IBM 2770, 2780, or 3780 protocols. Data is accepted in either the 4235 LPS or punch ports.

Note:

PCL4 and XScript are not supported in bisynchronous.

Protocols ETX/ACK When this protocol is in effect, the 4235 LPS sends an ACK (06H

in ASCII, 2EH in EBCDIC) to the host computer system whenever an ETX (03H) is received to acknowledge the successful receipt of the preceding block of text. The ACK is not sent until the 4235 LPS is ready to receive more data. If errors are detected in the block, the 4235 LPS responds to the ETX with a NAK (15H in ASCII, 3DH in EBCDIC).

XON/XOFF (DC1/DC3)

This protocol allows the 4235 LPS to inform the host computer system of its readiness to receive data. The 4235 LPS sends a DC3 code (13H) to the host computer system under the following conditions:

•

The s

ace in the input buffer is equivalent to less than that of

64 characters

•

The 4235 LPS is unable to acce

t further data. Such a

condition usually exists for only a brief period.

When the 4235 LPS is a

ain ready to receive data, it sends a DC1 code (11H) to the host. This protocol may not be used with a half duplex line.

When both

rotocols are selected, ETX/ACK and XON/XOFF

may be in effect at the same time.

Both

Both protocols may be inactive.

Description

The DTR (Data Terminal Ready) option causes the DTR line to go low (negative, false) when the space in the input buffer is less than that of 64 characters. The line goes high (positive, true) when the 4235 LPS is ready to receive data. If this option is not in effect, the Data Terminal Ready line remains high at all times.

Note:

This option is designed to be used with direct connect interfaces from a host computer system or PC. When the DSR (Data Set Ready) option is enabled, the 4235 LPS polls the Data Set Ready signal from the host every .5 seconds. If DSR is low two times in a row, the link is broken, DTR is dropped for five seconds and then raised again.

Note:

This option is designed to accommodate European switched line configurations. When this is selected, both options are active, and DSR is polled every .5 seconds. If DSR is low two times in a row, DTR is dropped and held low for five seconds, then raised again. DTR is also dropped when the 4235 LPS is not ready to receive data, and it is raised when the 4235 LPS is ready. When this is selected, both options are inactive.

Typically, leased lines are full duplex, while switched lines are half duplex. The DTR option is not recommended for half duplex operation, since dropping DTR causes a dialup modem to disconnect.

Odd, even, or no parity may be chosen. If no parity is chosen, the 4235 LPS does not expect a parity bit.

This is the number of stop bits that the 4235 LPS expects after each character.

When

enabled

, the 4235 LPS disconnects the communication line by dropping DTR if it receives no data for 30 seconds. If the DSR option has been enabled, DTR remains low until DSR is also dropped; DTR is then raised again.

Note:

The Auto Disconnect option is designed to

accommodate European switched line configurations. The hold line period defines the length of inactivity allowed

during communications before the 4235 LPS disconnects. You can specify a hold line period of up to 999 seconds.

When data monitor is

enabled

, the hexadecimal value of all received character codes and functions are printed in the order received. Data monitor is not supported in XPPM; however, a data monitor of XPPM jobs is possible if you send an XPPM job to a port configured for XDPM with the data monitor

7. Host computer system generation

This chapter provides guidelines for integrating and operating the 4235 LPS as a remote printer in a distributed remote job entry (RJE) network. This chapter also provides sample system generation parameters for five different environments, as well as operational hints.

The 4235 LPS simulates the actions of an RJE terminal for output printing only. You cannot use it for the submission of jobs to the host computer system. To integrate the 4235 LPS into an RJE network, you must specify the appropriate parameters within the host initialization procedures and you must generate the host.

System generation parameters for the following host computer systems are available:

•

An OS/MVS host computer system with JES2

•

An OS/MVS host computer system with JES3

•

A VM/RSCS host configuration

•

A VSE/POWER host computer system

•

An OS/VS1 host computer system

•

An NCP SNA host computer system; VTAM switched network majornode; JES2 sample host computer system PARMLIB parameters.

This chapter provides the following information for each host computer system environment:

•

Environment descriptions

•

Initialization process review

•

System generation procedures

•

Sample parameters

•

Sign–on procedures.

This chapter also provides the following information:

Environment description

Initialization process review

In an SNA environment, the 4235 LPS emulates a 3777 Model 3 communications terminal. The 4235 LPS may be defined in a BSC environment as a Remote Job Entry (RJE) terminal operating in any of the three modes available: 2770, 2780, or 3780. As a remote terminal, OS/MVS and JES2 facilities support the 4235 LPS.

The 4235 LPS is defined to a JES2 system using standard JES2 system generation statements and procedures. The five–step process requires only the addition of several generation statements to the JES2 initialization deck.

Review the host computer system global parameters and specify the appropriate values.

Specify the remote terminal parameters (RMTnn).

Specify the remote printer parameters (Rnn.PR1).

Specify the remote punch parameters (Rnn.PU1).

Specify the communication line parameters (LINEnn).

System generation procedures

Step 1.

Values Description

&NUMLNES The largest line identification number (the number of teleprocessing lines). &NUMRJE The number of remote terminals. &TPBFSIZ Teleprocessing buffer size (520 to allow operation in 512–byte mode). &NUMTPBF The number of teleprocessing buffers. &NUMBUF The number of I/O buffers is increased by five for each active remote terminal. &PRTRANS Print line translation should be set to NO to allow printing of lowercase letters.

Specify the appropriate values for the following JES2 parameters:

&LINECT The maximum number of lines per page. A value of 0 suppresses automatic page

overflow. You can override his value by a JOB card parameter or a JOBPARM control card.

&TPIDCT Specifies the number of print lines on each separator page.
