XEROX 4635 LASER PRINTING SYSTEM PC USER INTERFACE REFERENCE
In order to maintain controller file type integrity, the user is
cautioned against using the file transfer or file copy/convert
feature and then selecting the PC Editor utility to edit an
controller file. The recommended procedure is to use the
PC Editor window options specifying the controller as the
source device and then selecting the open/edit target. The
PC Editor will automatically initiate the transfer of a file from
the controller transfer. When the changes to the file have
been made, using the editor to SAVE the tile will initiate the
transfer of the file from the PC to the controller in the
correct format.
• Use the PC file management features for files on the PC
floppy.
To copy or save files from the PC hard disk to the PC floppy,
the file management features provided within the PC UI are
to be used. If DOS commands or other non-PC UI utilities
are used, the information needed to maintain file type
integrity for PC UI proccessing will not be copied to the
floppy. This can result in files that are not correctly format
for useable by the PC UI for subsequent proccessing.
• Adhere to controller file extension naming conventions.
When creating new controller files or copying/saving existing
controller files on the PC UI, the user is cautioned to
maintain the controller file extensions and change only the
file name. Incorrect and unexpected results can occur if the
user changes the file extension or copies a file to one with a
different file extension. The resulting file transferred back to
the controller many no longer have the correct file structure
or record type.
When using the file conversion feature, the file extension
must be changes to reflect the new file type.
Predefined file types are used by the PC UI for controller files
with the following extensions: cmd, dat, fsl, isl, lib, jsl, msc,
pch, tmp.
• Follow the file naming rules of the 4135 LPS component.
Controller file names may consist of no more than six
characters.
PC files names may consist of one to eight (8) ASCII
characters with exception of the following: period (.), colon
(:), dash (-), forward slash (/), backward slash (\), asterisk (*),
question mark (?), vertical bar (|), greater than (>), less than
(<), spaces, or multi-national characters. The following are
MS_DOS reserved words and cannot be used as PC file
names: CLOCK$, CON, AUX, COMn (where n = 1-4), LPTn
(where n = 1-3), NUL, and PRN.
