1. Introduction  
The Intermate LX T-04 is a protocol converter, which makes it possible to  
connect the Lexmark 23xx Plus, Lexmark 4227 and Lexmark 4227 Plus  
printers to an IBM 5250 (Twinax) environment.  
Theory of Operation  
Print data from an IBM host is in a format that cannot be recognized by a PC  
type printer. The Intermate LX T-04 converts IBM control and character codes  
to ASCII control commands and characters, which are recognizable by the  
Lexmark matrix printer. Together, the Intermate LX T-04 and the attached  
printer appears to the IBM host as an original IBM twinax printer.  
ASCII Printer Driver  
The Intermate LX T-04 can utilize many of the functions resident in the  
attached printer, such as underlining, page formatting and paper source  
selections. The control commands for these functions reside in the Printer  
Drivers. These cover the standard printer types. See Appendix A for a list of  
available Printer Drivers.

Set the address switch to position '9' (test printout function).  
Switch on the printer. The SYSTEM indicator flashes for a few seconds.  
The Intermate LX T-04 produces a test printout on the printer, which shows the  
firmware revision and basic configuration. The default configuration is for a  
IBM Proprinter emulation.  
Printout:

The default configuration supports Proprinter compatible printers. If you want  
to change the configuration, you can do this later using Configuration from the  
System when the Intermate LX T-04 has been installed towards the host. You  
can also go to Section 3 before continuing with System Attachment.  
The test printout shows if the Intermate LX T-04 has been configured for your  
printer by the dealer/distributor.  
Example:  
The printout shows that this Intermate LX T-04 has already been configured for

System Attachment  
When your Intermate LX T-04 is configured, and the configuration is verified  
by a test printout, it is time to connect it to the IBM host.  
The AS/400 configuration is easiest done using the Auto Configuration. The  
LX T-04 then configures as a *4214printer device.  
Make sure that the printer is switched off and the T-cable and the twinax cables  
are properly attached.  
Then follow these steps to configure your AS/400 and the LX T-04.  
1.  
Find a free device address by printing a device address chart using the  
CL command:  
PRTDEVADR  
2.  
3.  
Set the device address (0-6) on the LX T-04's address switch.  
Enable Auto Configuration using the CL command:  
CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QAUTOCFG) VALUE('1')  
4.  
Connect the LX T-04 to the network and switch the printer ON.  
If the device address has been changed from another valid value (0-6),  
you must confirm by stepping the address switch one step forward, and  
then back. The new device address is confirmed by a printed message.  
5.  
6.  
Verify that the AS/400 has detected a new device type *4214by using  
the CL command WRKDEVD PRT*and pressing F5 (refresh)  
continuously.  
Start the Printer Writer for the device:  
STRPRTWTR DEV(PRT08)

I n s t a l l a t i o n  
7.  
Make a test printout:  
CHGJOB PRTDEV(PRT08)  
PRTDEVADR CTLD(CTL01)  
If you do not receive a printout, check if there is a message waiting on  
the writer:  
WRKWTR PRT*  
Caution: Twinax cables are heavy. Please make sure that they are  
sufficiently mechanically supported in order to avoid damage to  
your Intermate LX T-04 or your printer.  
The SYSTEM indicator flashes for a few seconds and is then constantly lit. To  
verify the attachment, make a printout.  
You have completed the installation procedure, and your Intermate LX T-04 is  
ready for use. It does not need any attendance or service during normal  
operation.

3. Configuration  
Although the Intermate LX T-04 is prepared for operation at delivery, you may  
want to change the configuration. A test printout verifies the current  
configuration, see Section 2.  
The configuration can be done in two ways:  
Configuration from a Terminal  
This is the method described in this section. The configuration  
method requires a dedicated IBM 5250 terminal such as a 3180,  
3179, 3197, 347x or 348x.  
Configuration from the System  
The Intermate LX T-04 can also be configured using downloaded  
programming sequences from the system, see Section 4.  
Configuration from a Terminal  
The Intermate LX T-04 is equipped with a menu-driven Configuration Utility.  
This provides a step-by-step method to adapt the Intermate LX T-04 to your  
IBM host and printer. Follow these steps to start the configuration:  
1.  
2.  
Switch off the printer.  
Connect a terminal to the Intermate LX T-04 using the T-cable, and  
switch the terminal on. The terminal should be terminated.  
3.  
Set the address switch in position '7' and switch on the printer. Wait a few  
seconds after the SYSTEM indicator has stopped flashing.  
4.  
5.  
Select position '9'. Wait until the SYSTEM indicator starts to flash.  
Select position '7' again.  
Within a few seconds, the Key Definitions Menu should appear on your

terminal.  
The rest of this section is a guide to the Configuration Utility. If you want to  
restart the configuration, just switch the Intermate LX T-04 off and repeat from  
step 3.

4. Advanced Functions  
The Intermate LX T-04 supports a number of functions beyond standard IBM  
printer operation.  
During normal mode of operation, Intermate LX T-04, together with your  
printer, emulates the IBM twinax printer selected in your configuration. In  
addition, the Extended Emulation Mode gives you access to functions not  
available in standard IBM printers.  
The examples in this section are intended to give you an overview of how to  
use the advanced functions in the Extended Emulation Mode.  
Extended Emulation Mode  
The advanced functions that you can access in the Extended Emulation Mode  
are:  
Transparency.  
Configuration from the System.  
Character Translation.  
User Definable Strings.  
String Substitutions.  
Bar Code printing.  
The functions are programmed, and called, by text sequences inserted into your  
documents. The sequences are inserted between enter and exit commands that  
control the Extended Emulation Mode.

Configuration from the System  
This function allows you to configure the Intermate LX T-04 without  
connecting it directly to a terminal as described in Section 3.  
By inserting configuration commands in your document, you can tailor the  
Intermate LX T-04 to meet special requirements your print jobs.  
Document example:  
%P  
(Configuration lead-in sequence)  
=207,32 (Printer Driver= IBM Proprinter)  
=10,1  
=54,4  
=206  
%
(System Language=US English/Canadian)  
(ASCII Character Set= PC-850)  
(Initialize settings)  
(Configuration trailer sequence)  
&&??000 (Resume normal emulation mode and save settings)  
The example shows how to select a Printer Driver and program the Basic  
Configuration parameters.  
'%P'  
'='  
Tells the Intermate LX T-04 that configuration commands are to  
follow, ie enters Extended Emulation Mode.  
Indicates a command line. Each command line has a function or  
parameter number.  
'207'  
Is a function number, followed by a comma and a value. '206' is  
also a function number. Please refer to the Technical Reference  
for a description of functions and their values.  
'10'  
Is a parameter number, followed by a comma and a value. '54' is  
also a parameter. See Appendix A for a description of the  
parameters.  
'%'  
Indicates the end of the configuration commands.  
'&&??000'  
Exits the Extended Emulation Mode and saves the settings  
permanently.

Note:  
The comments (within brackets) should not be included in your  
document.  
Transparency  
IBM PC Support Virtual Printer is one way of sending data transparent to the  
printer. This method is always active and is not described in this guide.  
This section describes the Intermate LX T-04 specific transparency methods.  
The Transparency function allows you to send data directly to your printer  
without any conversion (pass-through). The data could be ASCII printer  
commands unsupported by the interface (eg underlined text), or even  
downloaded fonts.  
Be careful when using the Transparency function for generating printable  
characters, selecting fonts or making text positioning. The Intermate LX T-04  
supports these functions in normal emulation mode, and your settings may be  
overridden by the system.  
There are two types of Transparency, Single-byte and Multi-byte. The function  
is accessed in Extended Emulation Mode.  
The Single-byte Transparency function is called by a percent sign in your  
document ('%') and it passes through one subsequent ASCII byte  
(hexadecimal).  
The Multi-byte function is started by two successive percent signs. When the  
start sequence ('%%') is found, the Intermate LX T-04 assumes hexadecimal  
data until a terminating percent sign occurs.

Document Example (Multi-byte Transparency):  
You want the text to have an underlined part in the middle. Assuming that you  
have selected IBM Proprinter emulation, 'start underline' and 'stop underline'  
are defined by the ASCII codes $1B,$2D,$31 and $1B,$2D,$30 respectively:  
This is %%1B2D31%underlined%%1B2D30% text  
Printout:  
This is underlined text  
Please refer to the manual for your PC type printer for information on ASCII  
printer commands.  
Note:  
To access the Transparency function, Extended Emulation Mode  
must be entered.  
Configuration and Transparency Sequences  
The Start and Stop Transparency and Configuration are controlled by three  
string parameters:  
Transparency Lead-In Sequence (#041), empty by default.  
Configuration Lead-In Sequence (#042), empty by default.  
Transparency/Configuration Trailer Sequence (#043), empty by  
default.  
See Appendix A for a description of the parameters. The parameters can be  
redefined using Configuration from the System.

Define the Sequences  
The parameters are defined when Extended Emulation Mode is entered.  
Example:  
Enter Extended Emulation Mode and set the Transparency Lead-In Sequence to  
'%%', the Configuration Lead-In Sequence to '%P' and the Trailer Sequence to  
'%':  
&&??%%P (Enter Extended Emulation Mode and set parameters)  
Redefine the Sequences  
The parameters can be redefined using text sequences in the document.  
Example:  
Change the Transparency Lead-In Sequence from '%%' to '!?<' (EBCDIC codes  
$4F,$6F,$4C).Also, change the Trailer Sequence from '%' to '>&' (EBCDIC  
codes $6E,$50):  
%P  
(Configuration lead-in sequence)  
=41,$4F,$6F,$4C (New Transparency Lead-In)  
=43,$6E,$50  
=205  
>&  
(New Transparency Lead-Out)  
(Save settings permanently)  
(Initialize settings)  
Note: -  
To redefine the sequences, Extended Emulation Mode must be  
entered. The sequences are reset if you exit and re-enter  
Extended Emulation Mode. See above.  
-
The sequences are redefined immediately. Therefore, the new  
sequence '>&' must be used as Configuration Trailer Sequence in  
the document.

This results is the same printout as in the previous section.  
Edit Translation Tables  
Normally, there is no need to edit the translation tables. The character  
translation tables activated by the Printer Driver and System Language  
selections are designed to produce the same printouts as the emulated IBM  
printer.  
If you should need to make further adjustments, this section explains the  
character translation process and how to modify the translation tables to meet  
specific needs.

Character Translation  
SCS data stream EBCDIC language specific characters are first translated into  
EBCDIC International Set 5 characters. This is the internal character  
representation in the Intermate LX T-04. The EBCDIC International Set 5  
characters are then translated into ASCII codes, which are sent to the printer.  
The EBCDIC language specific-to-EBCDIC International Set 5 translation  
table is determined by the selected System Language.  
The EBCDIC International Set 5-to-ASCII table is determined by the selected  
Printer Driver.  
You have access to the table that translates the EBCDIC International Set 5  
codes to ASCII codes. Appendix B shows a printout of the characters for each  
EBCDIC International Set 5 code.  
To be able to edit the translation table you have to select the Editable Set. This  
is done in the Basic Configuration (see Section 3) or as shown in the example  
below. Before editing, the Editable Set equals the PC-850 character set.  
Example:  
To change a left bracket '[' (EBCDIC International Set 5 code $4A) to a left  
bracket '{' which has ASCII value $7B. Insert the following programming  
sequences in your document:

'54'  
Is the Parameter number. '5' selects the Editable Set (see  
Appendix A).  
'203'  
Is the function number, '$4A' is the EBCDIC International  
Set 5 code and '$7B' is the new ASCII value (old ASCII  
value is deleted).  
'206' and '205'  
Are also function numbers.  
From now on, a left bracket '[' is replaced by '{' in printouts.  
You can modify any number of cells in the table by adding lines with function  
203 calls.  
Note:  
To edit, Extended Emulation Mode must be entered.  
In 4214 emulation, you can edit the Translation Table although you cannot  
select ASCII Character Set.

User Defined Strings  
There are ten parameters in the Parameter List that can be programmed as User  
Definable String (Parameters #120-#129). A common application is to program  
and store various printer control commands, and send them to the printer using  
string references rather than the commands themselves. Please refer to the  
manual for your PC type printer for information on ASCII printer commands.  
Programming the Strings  
Example:  
You want to store commands for underlining text. Assuming that you have  
selected Epson emulation, 'start italic' and 'stop italic' are defined by the ASCII  
codes $1B,$34 and $1B,$35 respectively:  
%P  
(Configuration lead-in sequence)  
=120,$1B,$34  
=121,$1B,$35  
%
(Program parameter # 120 to "start underline")  
(Program parameter # 121 to "stop underline")  
The maximum String length is determined by the Free String Area.  
'120' and '121' are the Parameter numbers. These are referred to as User  
Definable Strings '0' and '1' respectively.  
Note:  
Strings are programmed in Extended Emulation Mode.

Note:  
To use the Strings, Extended Emulation Mode must be entered.  
String Substitutions  
This function is useful when you want to print a document that is prepared for a  
different PC type printer than yours.  
The document contains control commands for a specific printer, and you have  
to convert these commands in order to print this document with your printer.  
Instead of changing the document, you can let the Intermate LX T-04 do the  
conversion for you by using String Substitution.  
The String Substitution function searches the data stream for a specified  
sequence of ASCII characters and substitute them with another sequence. Note  
that this function operates after the character and control code conversion.

Example:  
Assume that you have selected IBM Proprinter emulation. The document  
is prepared for an HP LaserJet and contains 'start underline' and 'stop  
underline' pass-through commands at several locations. To print the  
document with an IBM Proprinter, the sequences must be converted.  
To 'start underline', the IBM Proprinter uses ASCII value string $1B,  
$2D, $31 and the HP LaserJet uses $1B, $26, $64, $44. 'Stop underline'  
commands are $1B, $2D, $30 and $1B, $26, $64, $40 respectively.  
The following pages show how to program these substitutions, both from a  
Terminal and the System.

5. Solving Problems  
This section helps you to solve any problems that might arise when installing or  
using your Intermate LX T-04 interface. There are three major areas of  
difficulty:  
Missing printouts.  
Incorrect printouts.  
Host communication problems.  
Use the following checklists to pinpoint the possible cause. If your problems  
should continue, please contact your dealer/distributor.  
Missing Printouts  
In case of missing printout, check the following:  
1.  
2.  
Is the printer on-line (Ready)?  
No: Set the printer on-line (see the printer manual).  
Is the printer correctly attached?  
Make sure that the Intermate LX T-04 is connected properly to the  
printer.  
If your printer has both parallel and serial input ports, the printer must be  
set up for the parallel connection.

S o l v i n g P r o b l e m s  
3.  
System printouts: Is the SYSTEM indicator on?  
No: The Intermate LX T-04 is not correctly connected to the system, or  
the power-up routine has been disturbed. Restart the interface  
(power-off/power-on). If this doesn't help, see Host Communication  
Problem.  
Flashing: The Intermate LX T-04 is in Test Mode. To exit set the address  
switch to position '9', or switch the Intermate LX T-04 off and on.  
Incorrect Host Printouts  
There are three major types of incorrect printouts:  
Some Characters are Printed Incorrectly  
Characters like ä ü Ä Ü are printed as { } [ ]  
Most likely an incorrect System Language has been selected. Select  
the System Language matching your system configuration. see the  
section Select System Language.  
Characters like é ì ô ü are printed as e i o u  
Your printer has not been set up for the character set matching the  
ASCII Character Set selection. Make sure that you have selected  
the correct Printer Driver and the correct ASCII Character Set in  
the Basic Configuration.  
If this doesn't help, your printer may not be able to print all the characters that  
the system produces. Print out the EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation table (see  
Appendix C), and compare this to the table in Appendix B. In some cases it is  
possible to edit the translation table, or to select another character set in your  
printer. Consult your distributor for further details.

S o l v i n g P r o b l e m s  
Corrupted Printouts  
This is generally caused by selecting a Printer Driver not matching your printer.  
The control commands are then misinterpreted by the printer, causing corrupted  
printouts. If changing Printer Driver does not help, you can use the ASCII  
hexdump function (see Producing Hexdumps) to locate the control commands  
causing the problem.  
Incorrect Page Breaks  
This may be caused by an incorrect Printer Driver selection. There may also be  
a printer problem, causing it not to print all lines on a page.  
Host Communication Problem  
In case of missing system printouts, please follow this checklist.  
1.  
Is the SYSTEM indicator lit?  
Yes: The printer may not be properly connected. Please refer to Section  
2.

Check that the cables are properly connected and fully functional.  
Reporting Problems  
If you run into problems that you can't solve on your own, it is important that  
you make an error report for your System Manager or distributor. The error  
report should include:  
A printout with a description of the errors.  
If possible, a correct printout.  
A Parameter List.  
A System and ASCII hexdump.  
If you need technical support, please contact your dealer. If they can't help you,  
they forwards your request through the appropriate channels.  
Printing the Parameter List  
The Parameter List shows the complete configuration. A selection of  
parameters are described in Appendix A. To print the Parameter List, do as

Set the address switch to '9' when the printout is completed.  
The SYSTEM indicator stops flashing.  
5.  
Select the device address to resume normal print operation.  
Producing Hexdumps  
A hexdump is a printout where the input data stream is printed as hexadecimal  
byte values rather than being interpreted as characters and control codes. The  
Intermate LX T-04 features two different types of hexdump modes  
System hexdump  
This mode traps the input SCS data before the character and  
control code conversion. The data is printed as EBCDIC  
hexadecimal values.  
ASCII hexdump  
The input data is converted to ASCII hexadecimal values before  
printing. This mode is useful if you want to see what printer  
control command a certain IBM control code corresponds to.  
The procedure for producing a hexdumpis as follows:  
1.  
2.  
Switch the printer and Intermate LX T-04 off and on.  
Set the address switch to '9', and wait for approx. 3 seconds until the  
SYSTEM indicator starts to flash. You are now in the Test Mode.

E. Euro Support  
Support for the Euro symbol can be achieved in two ways. Either by updating  
the LX T-04 firmware and selecting the Euro character set or by making a  
permanent character substitution in the interface. Both approaches require that  
the printer firmware supports the Euro symbol and are covered by this  
appendix.  
The interface firmware release K12-8491 and above supports the Euro symbol  
via the new ASCII character set "PC-858". This is achieved by replacing the  
international currency “¤” symbol with that of the Euro symbol “e”. The  
character set is selected via the terminal configuration method.  
Permanent substitution of the international currency symbol with the Euro  
symbol is done by sending a command sequence to the interface. This approach  
does not require the interface firmware to be updated, as only the character  
number is sent to the printer.  
Printer Firmware Requirements  
In order to be able to print the Euro symbol, the printer firmware has to meet  
the minimum firmware requirement listed in the below table.  
Printer model  
Lexmark 23xx  
Required firmware  
version 1.7 (or greater)  
Version 3.1 (or greater)  
Lexmark 4227  
Lexmark 4227 Plus  
There is no minimum firmware  
requirement for this printer.  
Refer to your printer’s User’s Guide for instructions on how to check and  
upgrade the firmware.

A p p e n d i c e s  
Euro Support via Terminal Configuration  
The Euro symbol is contained in the ASCII character set “PC-858". This is also  
the default character set for the firmware release K12-8491. Euro Support is  
disabled by selecting an ASCII character set other than “PC-858" for the  
current printer driver.

If you are unsure whether your LX T-04 firmware is equal to or greater than  
K12-8491, you should make a test printout. This is done by turning the printer  
Off, setting the LX T-04's address switch to position "9" and turning the printer  
On.  
The Intermate LX T-04 version number is printed at the top of the printout.  
This should be K12-8491 or greater. The last four digits represent the firmware  
revision number. The higher this number is, the newer is the firmware.  
Contact your dealer if the firmware needs upgrading. Alternatively, a zipped  
file containing the firmware can be downloaded from the Intermate web site  
(www.intermate.com). Search for "K12" in the Support section's Download  
section. Download the file called K12-xxxx.zip. You will need a decompressing  
tool like WinZip® to extract the file.  
Refer to appendix D. Updating the Software on page 61 for details on how to  
update the firmware.  
How to disable Euro support  
This procedure requires that the LX T-04 has been updated with the firmware  
K12-8491 or greater.  
1.  
Switch Off the printer and disconnect it from the network.

2.  
Make sure the Intermate LX T-04 is attached correctly to the printer. See  
separate sheet for details about installing the interface.  
Note:  
If the LX T-04 was attached to the system and operating,  
then the current address switch position represents the device  
address assigned to the LX T-04. Write this number down  
and save it.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
Set the address switch to position “9". This generates a test printout at  
the next power On.  
Switch On the printer. The SYSTEM indicator flashes for a few  
seconds.  
Study the test printout. It shows the firmware number and the default  
settings. Note whether the ASCII character set is set to “PC-858", which  
means Euro Support is active.

Euro Support via Command Sequences  
Note: This approach does NOT require that the LX T-04 has been updated  
with the firmware K12-8491 or greater. This is because the substitution  
of the international currency with the Euro symbol takes place after the  
character set has been chosen in the LX T-04.  
Send one of the below command sequences to the printer to disable or enable  
Euro Support.
