ENGLISH Preface Introduction Convert Box for DECLaser is a conversion box designed to print on new Digital laser printers, jobs originally intended for DEC PPL3 printers. The DEC PPL3 printer is replaced by the box connected to a target printer as shown in the before and after situation in the following figures. This box stands between the host computer and the targeted Digital printer. DEC PPL3 is the Digital ANSI-Compliant Printing Protocol which includes functions for page printers.
Preface Features The box has the following features: Compatibility to Digital PPL3 ANSI Protocols The conversion box with the printer replaces Digital PPL3 printers without degrading the overall performances. The box emulates the following DEC PPL3 printers: DECLaser 1100, DECLaser 2100/2200, DECLaser 3200, LN03 Plus. Ease-of-use Simple configuring and operating. Separate Power Supply The conversion box is powered via an external AC/DC adapter.
Target Printer Detection The box is capable of detecting which printer is attached to the parallel port. This allows addressing of the specific printer features. The following printers are supported: DECLaser 3500, DECLaser 5100, LN17.
Preface is enabled and so that the printer system language supports reporting and job control (PJL or PostScript, for instance). In this mode the Convert Box may be used in a DCPS (DECPrint Supervisor) environment provided that the printer connected to the parallel port is set to the PostScript system language. The Autosensing mode In this mode, the Convert Box detects whether the data received through the serial input port is a DEC PPL3 job or a PostScript job.
Chapter 3 - Troubleshooting This chapter contains a troubleshooting guide for problems which may occur, and tells you how to solve them. Chapter 4 - Target Printers Information This chapter details information about the supported printers and their default settings. Appendices A-C The appendices describe the conversion box specific commands, the default configuration, the serial and parallel technical characteristics. There is also an index.

Stage 3 - Power on and Testing Having successfully completed stages one and two, you can now power on the box and the printer and run some tests to determine if all is well. 1. Apply power to the box by connecting the AC/DC adapter to the mains power outlet. The mains socket outlet must be easily accessible. The On indicator on the conversion box should light. 2. Switch the printer ON, and wait the printer ready indication 3.
Installing the Conversion Box Operating the Box The box operation should mainly be transparent to the user. However, there are tests that you can run and indications that you should be aware of. These are described in the following two tables.
ENGLISH 2 Configuring and Operating Configuring the Conversion Box If the default settings of the box and your host and printer do not match, you will need to configure the box. You can do this primarily through changing the dipswitch settings on the box (dipswitch configuration). In addition to this, you can use control commands issued from the host that can override or dynamically change the dipswitch settings or set other parameters (software configuration).
Configuring and Operating Dipswitch Configuration The dipswitch settings control the main configuration parameters of the box. The box is delivered with default settings that you might have to change according to your host and printer parameters which you check before installing the box.

Software Configuration The dipswitch setting is designed to ensure a proper installation of the box. However, it does not cover all the possibilities offered by the conversion box. To that end, a more application oriented software based configuration facility, has been implemented. The software configuration is performed by sending control commands to the conversion box from the host.
Configuring and Operating Digital ANSI Protocol Configuration Command The Digital ANSI protocol has a command called DECFNVR which is designed to perform a custom configuration of the conversion box. DECFNVR can be used to set the states of the following parameters: • Line Feed Mode • Carriage Return Mode • Character Set • Number of copies Use of DECFNVR 1. Send to the conversion box one or more of the Digital commands corresponding to the features listed above 2.
ENGLISH 3 Troubleshooting Resetting the Box You can recover the power up default parameters by resetting the conversion box. This procedure is recommended when the printer gives unexpected results, and you do not succeed in solving your problem. To reset the box, press and hold for five seconds the reset button until the Status indicator starts blinking quickly.
Troubleshooting Solving Problems Installation Problems Missing or damaged parts • Contact your dealer immediately. The conversion box does not power on • Make sure the AC/DC adapter is inserted correctly into the conversion box and to the power outlet. • Check that power is supplied through your power outlet. The configuration printout does not print at all • Check the conversion box is securely connected to the printer parallel connector.
The Configuration Sheet does not reflect the correct printer connected (“Not identified” printed next to the target printer name) • Check that the printer is listed as a supported target printer. • Check that the parallel port of the printer is set for bi-directional communications (IEEE 1284). Printing Problems Printing after first power-up is not the expected one • Run the configuration printout to verify the current settings. See the default printer configurations given in Chapter 4.
Troubleshooting The conversion box does not print data coming from the host • Check that the serial communication connection is correct. The Status indicator should light when receiving data. • Check the printer display to verify data is received. If so, try to eject the page by pressing the Form Feed button of the printer, and verify that your application terminates the job by a Form Feed command. For that, you can run a Hexadecimal Printout (see Chapter 2 for details).
Printing distorted or incomplete • Check you have enough resident memory available in your printer (at least 2 Mb) and that the printer set-up is correct. «Page Protect» parameter, if it exists, should be set (see Chapter 1 for details). Printing appears with a bad contrast • Check the printer setup parameter «Enhancement» setting, if it exists. Printing in general is incoherent • Reset the conversion box by pressing and holding the reset button for five seconds.
ENGLISH 4 Target Printers Information Printers Supported by the Conversion Box • LN17 • DECLaser 3500 • DECLaser 5100 Printer Parameters to Configure For most applications, the factory default configuration of your printer should work directly with the conversion box. However, depending on the application type you want to run, it may be necessary to change the parameters and set up your printer accordingly.

A Specific Conversion Box Commands General Rules The specific conversion box commands (command_n) are introduced with the introducer command DCS 58 ; 1i, and terminated by the String Terminator ST. The introducer and string terminator can be given in hex form as necessary. Both methods are shown in the following table: ASCII Hexadecimal value DCS 58 ; 1i Command_n ST 90 35 38 3B 31 69 Command_n 9C APPENDICES These commands can be sent from any text terminal editor.
Specific Conversion Box Commands Command_n Syntax The command_n syntax is as follows: (Operator Type Family / Attribute_1 / Attribute_n Value) Where: Operator is used to indicate the operation type; assign or reset. Type Family designates the parameter which is to be configured. Attribute specifies the argument which is used with Type Family parameter.
Specific Conversion Box Commands Specific Conversion Box Parameters Operator Parameter The Operator parameter can take two values: Used with the other Type Family parameters as given in the following table to assign values. Reset Can be used with all Type Family components to return parameters value to their factory default.
Specific Conversion Box Commands Type Family Parameters The following table identifies the Type Family parameters that can be used.
Specific Conversion Box Commands Type Family Timeout Attribute Serial Parallel Device_id Value 0 to 1000 (default= 20 seconds) 0 to 1000 (default= 30 seconds) 2 #Default (default) #LA100 #LQP02 #LN03plus #PPL3 1 Model: Since the Convert Box detects which printer is connected automatically, this attribute is used only when the connected printer is unknown or when the Convert Box is unable to detect it.
Specific Conversion Box Commands Commands List The tables in this section show examples of the box specific commands (command_n) and describes their meaning. For simplification in the examples shown below, the Introducer DCS (9OH) and String Terminator ST (9CH) sequences are not included. Do not forget to insert them when sending the complete command. Using the Reset Operator The Reset operator recalls the factory default values for the Type family parameter selected.
Specific Conversion Box Commands Emulation Meaning (= Emulation #PPL3) Translates DEC PPL3 protocol to be interpreted by the target printer. (= Emulation #LN03plus) Translates Digital LN03plus protocol to be interpreted by the target printer. (= Emulation #Transparent) All data coming into the serial input of the conversion box simply go through the printer via the parallel port without any modifications.

(= Device_id #LN03plus) Set the device identificator to LN03plus. (= Device_id #LQP02) Set the device identificator to LQP02.
Specific Conversion Box Commands Printing DEC PPL3 or PostScript Jobs Alternatively When DEC PPL3 jobs and PostScript jobs are not separated by a sufficient idle time, the Convert Box cannot switch from the data conversion mode to the transparent mode automatically, even if the Autosensing mode is set. Therefore, prior to each job, it is necessary to set the appropriate mode by sending software configuration commands according to the job to be printed.
Specific Conversion Box Commands Sending the Appropriate Sequences in a VMS Environment The following provides guidelines on two methods of sending the appropriate sequences via the Convert Box depending on the type of job to be printed. The two methods involve the setup modules mentioned in the above section (PPL3.TXT,LN03.TXT and PS.TXT) which must be created in a device control library using the LIBRARY command. See detailed information on the VMS commands in the appropriate VMS documentation.
