Introduction  
Xerox LS 3270  
1. Introduction to the Xerox LS 3270  
This chapter gives a short description of the Xerox LS 3270 and its  
installation requirements.  
1.1. What is the Xerox LS 3270?  
The Xerox LS 3270 is a protocol converter which enables any  
printer (or other output device) to be connected to an IBM  
computer system.  
The printer or device should have a Centronics parallel connector  
in order to be connected to the Xerox LS 3270 protocol converter.  
The IBM system should use the 3270 type terminals. See Section  
1.3, Supported Control Units, for information on the IBM systems to  
which the Xerox LS 3270 connects.  
1.1.1 PCL or FSL output driver  
The output driver selection (rotary) switch on the front panel of the  
box allows you to select between the following two drivers:  
The PCL Driver (Default)  
If you select PCL (set address switch to A), the box is ready to  
operate as it is. When used with certain older IBM controllers, the  
FSL function Y8 may have to be set to obtain the correct SCS  
printer language. For further pro gramming of the box, you are  
referred to the “3270 Programmer's Guide" Document no. D62077.  
The FSL Driver  
To use a non-PCL printer or connect to a serial input port on a  
printer, you select FSL (set address switch to B). The Xerox LS  
3270 is compatible with the Xerox 3270 C/RS box. For program-  
ming the internal setup of the box you must refer to the “3270  
Programmer's Guide" Document no. D62077 .

Introduction  
Xerox LS 3270  
Changing the Driver  
To change from PCL to FSL driver or vice versa, first of all the  
rotary switch has to be in position T at power on. The current  
printer driver will be indicated on a printout. The actual selection of  
printer driver is then made by turning the rotary switch to position A  
(PCL) or B (FSL). The new position will also be indicated on a  
second printout. When the correct position is obtained, turn the  
rotary switch away from the A, B or T positions (any other position  
will do). The new driver is now active.  
1.2. Xerox LS 3270 Features

should be made while the power is switched OFF.  
2.2.1 Pre-Installation Information  
Printer Dependency:  
An external power supply may be needed for the Xerox LS 3270 if  
the printer does not have 5V on pin 18 on the Centronics input  
port.  
This can be verified at the time of installation in the following way:  
An external power supply is needed:  
· if the PAR and CU LEDs do not turn ON when the printer is  
powered ON with the Xerox LS 3270 installed, and  
· if no print is generated when making a TEST printout (see  
section 2.3, Testing for details.

Printer Cable:  
The Xerox LS 3270 does not necessarily have to be plugged  
directly into the Centronics Input Port of your printer. An extention  
Centronics cable can be ordered for distance connection between  
the Xerox LS 3270 and your printer. This kit also contains a velcro  
tape to enable mounting on the side of a printer.  
Order no. 999 020 030  
2.2.2 Installation Procedure  
Below follows the procedure for installing the Xerox LS 3270:  
1.  
2.  
Make sure the printer power is turned OFF.  
Plug the Centronics Output Port of the Xerox LS 3270 into  
the Centronics Input port of the printer and lock it with the  
bail locks.  
3.  
Check that the rotary switch on the Xerox LS 3270 is in the  
correct position for the printer driver needed:  
Position A for PCL (default)  
Position B for FSL  
If you need to make changes to the printer driver, see  
section 1.1.1, PCL or FSL output Driver, “Changing the  
Driver”, for details on how to do this.  
4.  
5.  
Connect the coax cable to the Xerox LS 3270.  
Power ON the printer. The CU and PAR LEDs of the Xerox  
LS 3270 will turn on if the power is sufficient (for location of  
CU and PAR LEDs, see figure 2-1 in Section 2.1 Knowing  
the Front Panel).  
6.  
5.  
Check power and signal connection. If po wer is sufficient  
and a coax connection exists between the Xerox LS 3270  
and a controller, the green CU LED will stay ON. If the CU  
and PAR LEDs were not turned on at power on, you must  
add an external power supply to the Xerox LS 3270.  
Send a job from the host system and check the printout.  
Note that the system printer emulation must match the  
Xerox LS 3270 printer driver. If not, change the printer driver

2.3. Testing  
PCL driver:  
The default configuration of the interface will suffice for  
most application programs and uses. You should only  
change the configuration shown in the test printout if you  
have special requirements.  
If you should wish to change the configuration, the options  
may be set from the line as described in the Programmer's  
Guide; document no. D62077 (see "Related Manuals").  
FSL Driver  
With the FSL driver you have selected an unprogrammed  
printer driver. You have to program the internal setup of the  
box to suit your printing requirements. See Programmer's  
Guide; document no. D62077 for further details.  
1.  
2.  
Power the unit ON.  
Turn the rotary switch to the “T” position and back to the  
original position. This will generate a settings printou.t  
3.  
4
When the switch has been turned back to its original position,  
the CU indicator will start flashing for approximately 30  
seconds.  
Turn the rotary switch to the “T” position once again while the  
CU indicator is flashing. The unit will now enter Online HEX  
dumpmode. The dump mode is terminated by turning the  
switch away from and back into the “T” position.  
NOTE:  
The CU indicator will be blinking rapidly while the  
rotary switch is in the “T” position. This is an  
indication that the “T” position is not a valid  
permanent position.  
5.  
Compare the settings printout (FSL or PCL printout) with the  
printout illustrated in C hapter 8, Test Printouts.

for future reference.  
Settings Printout using FSL Y120 (PCL mode only)  
A settings printout can also be generated at power-on by activating  
function Y1202.  
2.4. Timeout  
The Xerox LS 3270 enables printer sharing between the system  
and a PC. For this purpose it is possible to specify a timeout  
period.  
If the printer is receiving input on the parallel port, for example,  
and there is a break in the transmission of data, the other input  
ports will not be polled for the period speci fied.  
The factory default timeout is 20 seconds. The timeout may be  
changed to suit your requirements. This is done by sending a new  
setup to the Xerox LS 3270 input port where you want it to take  
effect. See Chapter 4. Specifying Timeout.  
When specifying the timeout it is also possible to specify a user  
string. A user string may be used for changing from one symbol set  
(e.g. Roman 8) to another (e.g. IBM -PC8), for example.  
NOTE:  
Settings on the coax input port are automatically  
reestablished after another input port has been  
using the printer.  
On the parallel input port, you have to program the  
required setup yourself.  
For more detailed information on the commands required, see  
Chapter 5, Specifying Timeout.

Specifying Timeout  
Xerox LS 3270  
4. Specifying Timeout  
In order to specify the timeout for a specific input port, an FSL  
(Function Selection via the Line) sequence must be sent to the  
port in question. To do this a tempo rary Escape (ESC) Character  
must be defined first. This is done in the following way:  
&&??<character>  
The sequence "&&??%" will define "%" as the ESC Character.  
Timeout is specified in FSL Function 100 . This function has the  
following syntax ("%" is the ESC Character):  
%Y100,<timeout>[,user string]%  
Factory default = 20 seconds  
Timeout:  
0 to 255 indicating number of seconds  
User string:  
Optional - string in HEX to be sent to the  
printer before transmission of data,  
when the printer is selected by the  
share unit.  
If function 100 is sent to the coax, a  
user string number can be defined  
instead of a HEX string. The user string  
then has to be defined in function 61.  
NOTE:  
The Timeout string must be written in ONE line (see  
example overleaf).  
The user string and settings will only be sent if a share condition  
has occurred.

Specifying Timeout  
Xerox LS 3270  
The new setup must be saved in the NVRAM3 with the following  
command ("%" is the ESC Character):  
%X1  
The FSL string above was split up into several lines for reasons of  
clarification to simplify the explanation of the different functions.  
Below is an example where the FSL string is typed in one line.  
Example:  
&&??%%Y100,30,1B,45%%X1  
The FSL string above has the following effect:  
·
·
·
·
Defines % as ESC character  
Sets timeout to 30 seconds  
Send 1B 45 HEX before the next data transmission.  
Saves setup in the NVRAM.  
NOTE:  
FSL Y100 works on the port it is sent to. If it is sent  
to the parallel input port, the string containing the  
Function Y100 programming will be printed when it  
is sent to theXerox LS 3270. See Chapter 6, FSL

5. Programming theXerox LS 3270  
The Xerox LS 3270 supports approximately 60 internal Setup  
Functions (FSL Functions)4. When the protocol converter has been  
installed and connected to a printer, you may have to consider the  
use of these setup options.  
FSL setup functions can be sent either from your IBM system or  
from a PC.  
PCL Driver (Default)  
If you have decided to run the Xerox LS 3270 in PCL mode (see  
Chapter 1), the Xerox LS 3270 is ready to operate after you have  
completed the installation procedure. The factory default setup will  
meet the demands of most host systems and users, and special  
programming is therefore normally not required.  
However, special circumstances may require changes in the  
programming of the box. For full details on this please see the "  
3270 Programmer's Guide" Document no. D62077. In the  
Programmer's Guide you will find an extensive description of the  
FSL Functions with notes, comments and examples.  
FSL Driver  
If you have decided to run the Xerox LS 3270 in FSL mode (see  
Chapter 1), you have just selected an unprogrammed printer driver  
and you need to program any further settings of the box using FSL  
functions. The " 3270 Programmer's Guide" Document no.  
D62077, gives you full details on how you do this.  
On the following pages you will find a list of the  
functions available in PCL mode and FSL mode  
respectively.

FSL Setup via Xerox LS 3270 Parallel Port  
Xerox LS 3270  
6. FSL Setup via Xerox LS 3270 Parallel  
Port  
FSL support on the parallel input port is defined by temporary  
escape character, FSL Y100 and ESC X1.  
The Engineering Function Y249 (FSL setup via share port) allows  
you to program the FSL parameters for coax input directly via the  
parallel input port.  
When FSL programming is preceded by FSL Y249, the Xerox LS  
3270 will interpret the FSL as sent via the coax line.  
Example:  
&&??%%Y100,10,’SHARESTRING’%%X1  
Sent to the parallel input port, this command string will program  
FSL Y100 on the parallel input port it was sent to.  
&&??%%Y249,PASSWORD%%Y100,10,’SHARESTRING’%%X1  
Sent to the parallel input port, this command string will program  
FSL Y100 on the coax port.  
In the description below, it is assumed that you know how to define  
an escape character (this must be done before you can use the  
Y249 function).  
Character conversion  
When the engineering function is received all the following  
characters in the Xerox LS 3270 are converted to LU3 characters.  
The characters are now interpreted as received by the coax line.  
This functionality is automatically deactivated after timeout on the  
share port used.

FSL Setup via Xerox LS 3270 Parallel Port  
Xerox LS 3270  
NOTE:  
To ensure correct conversion of the characters  
following the engineering function, use characters  
existing in the symbol set PC-850 for Coax.  
Activating the Y249 Engineering Function  
Before the Engineering Function can be activated, an Escape  
character must be defined (see chapter 5 for details on how to do  
this).  
If you have defined % as Escape CHARACTER, you activate the  
engineering function by typing:  
%Y249,n%  
n = password. As this is sensitive information, system operators  
can contact their i-data distributor for password details.  
Deactivating the Y249 Engineering Function  
The function will be deactivated automatically after timeout on the  
share port used (timeout is defined in Y100 Port Sharing Option).  
Limitations when Y249 is active  
Characters not present in the PC-850 symbot set (Coax) can still  
be sent in hex notation.  
Example:  
If you need to define user string 1 containing a PCL reset, then  
define the following:  
&&??%  
%Y249,PASSWORD%  
%Y61,1,1B45%  
%X1

6.1. Updating firmware  
The Xerox LS 3270 firmware (complete firmware) may be updated  
either via the coax line or via the centronics input port. For further  
information please contact your distributor.  
If errors are detected, the downloading will be terminated and an  
error message will be printed if possible. If serious errors occur  
during programming, the firmware has to be downloaded via the  
share port.  
The downloading of firmware is considered complete if no data is  
received within 30 seconds. The interface will then make a soft re-  
set.
