Chapter 7
Emulation
The printing systems emulate the operation of seven other printers:
• HP LaserJet (mode 6)
• HP 7550A (mode 8)
• IBM Proprinter X24E (mode 1)
• Epson LQ-850 (mode 5)
• Diablo 630 (mode 2)
• Standard line printer (mode 0)
• KPDL (mode 9) [PostScript compatible]
Word-processing and graphics software for any of the above printers also works with the
printing system. All you need to do is to set the printing system to emulate the printer
your software supports and select the appropriate printer driver.
In rare cases when your software does not support any of the printers above, install your
software to drive the standard line printer and use PRESCRIBE commands to control
line spacing, character spacing, etc.
Inappropriate selection of printer drivers and printer-based emulations will produce
undesirable results.
When shipped from the factory, the printing system is set to emulate the HP LaserJet. For
best results, look for an appropriate printer driver in your software application.
You can also find the appropriate printer driver for your model in the CD-ROM supplied
with the product. Or, you are encouraged to visit our Internet home page to directly
download the printer driver of the latest version.
This chapter first explains how to select an emulation. Then it gives some general infor-
mation applying to all the emulation modes. Finally, it goes over each of the modes,
explaining the printing system’s word-processing capabilities and showing its character
sets. Tables of control codes and escape sequences are also given at the end of each emu-
lation section.
