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.

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 con nected 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.

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 .
