Notices
Installation caution
Your Xerox 4220/MRP And 4230/MRP printers are not customer
installable. Only a Xerox service representative should install the
equipment.
Safety
CAUTION: This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance
with the installation requirements, may cause interference to
radio communications.
U.S.A.
Your printer has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class A computing device pursuant to Subpart J of Part 15
of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable
protection against such interference when operated in a
commercial environment. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause interference. In such cases, the
user at his or her own expense is required to correct the
interference.
Canada
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio
noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio
interference regulations of the Canadian department of
communications.
Ce present appareil numerique n’emet pas de bruits
radioelectriques depassant les limites applicables aux appareils de
Classe A prescitees dans le reglement sur le brouillage
radioelectrique edicte par le ministre des communications du
Canada.

NOTICES
Operational safety
Your Xerox equipment and supplies are designed and tested to
meet strict safety requirements. These requirements include
safety agency examination, approval, and compliance with
established environmental standards.
Follow these notes to ensure safe operation of your equipment.
Do this
Always connect equipment to a properly grounded power source
receptacle. If in doubt, have the receptacle checked by a
qualified electrician.
WARNING: Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in electrical shock.
Always place equipment on a floor with adequate strength for
the weight of the machine.
Always have your Xerox service representative move or relocate
the equipment.
Always use materials and supplies specifically designed for your
Xerox equipment.
WARNING: Use of unsuitable materials may result in poor
performance and can possibly create a hazardous condition.
Always use a Xerox specified cordset with the Equipment Leakage
Circuit Interrupter/Residual Current Device (ELCI/RCD).
Do not do this
Never use an extension cord with the ELCI/RCD.
Never use the ELCI/RCD where water may enter the casing.
Never attempt any maintenance function that is not specifically
described in your Xerox MRP family documentations.
Never remove any covers or guards that are fastened with screws
unless otherwise instructed. There are no operator-serviceable
areas within these covers.
Never override or “cheat” electrical or mechanical devices.
Never operate the equipment if you notice unusual noises or
odors. Disconnect the power cord from the power source
receptacle and call Xerox service to correct the problem.
U.S. only: If you need any additional safety information
concerning the equipment or if you need Xerox supplied
materials, call the following toll-free number: 1-800-828-6571.

Introduction
The Xerox MRP Family Coax Command Reference, intended as a
learning tool and as a reference guide, provides the user, host
system programmer, and the System Administrator with a
comprehensive reference to printing on the Xerox MRP Family
coax printers.
About this manual
The procedures presented in this manual assume that you have a
basic knowledge and understanding of IBM computer systems,
especially the IBM 3270 Information Display System in the coax
environment.
