Printek FP5000 series, User Manual

Page: 4 / 201

Automatic, via program call
The command to load a Form is <ESC>[<n>SPq where n=form number, or 1b5b n 2071(HEX) where
n=form number.
For Example: The HEX command to load Form0 would be 1B 5B 30 20 71.
See page 154 of the User’s Guide for program commands.
Network Print Services
Setting up your FP5000 to work on your IBM or Unix network is the same as in Printek legacy printer
models. There are 7 print services which can be defined and selected, 3 of which are pre-configured for
the user. The naming convention used is exactly the same as in previous Printek models
The three predefined services are Printek_1, Printek_2 and Printek_3.
Printek_1 will load the parameters for Form0.
Printek_2 will load the parameters for Form1.
Printek_3 will load the parameters for Form2.
Emulations
The following print language emulations are available on the FP5000;
Epson LQ2550/LQ2170, IBM XL 24, MTPL, Genicom ANSI, PJL
This list is somewhat different than previous Printek printer models. Most importantly, there is no specific
“Printek” emulation in the FP5000. If your established print jobs were using Printek emulation, try “Epson”
emulation in the FP5000 as a substitute. In most cases, use of the Epson emulation here will provide
identical printout results for users of Printek emulation, as the command codes are very similar. Please
contact Printek Technical Support (800-368-4636 x422) if you are experiencing problems or if you have
questions regarding your specific situation.
NOTE THAT THE FP5000 IS SHIPPED WITH EPSON EMULATION AS THE DEFAULT
CONFIGURATION.
Display
The printer message display is slightly different on the FP5000 than on previous Printek models. Specific
functionality of the control panel and display is described in Section 9,
The Menu . Previous Printek
printer users will note that the FP5000 display still shows the FORM# presently in use, but flashes this in
conjunction with the Tractor path which is presently selected also (FP5002).
Configuration
In the FP5000, configuration is possible via the front control panel or using a computing host, as always.
Configuration via the control panel is described starting on page 55.
In the case of the host-based approach (typically selected when multiple printer parameters need to be
configured), the FP5000 has an on-board web page which is accessed using an Ethernet connection and
the web browser on your host computer.
