Chapter 7 Emulation
7-12
Diablo 630 Emulation (Mode 2)
To set the power-up emulation for Diablo 630, send the printing system the following
PRESCRIBE command sequence:
!R! FRPO P1, 2; FRPO P3, 1; EXIT;
The Diablo uses ten symbol sets as shown below. To select one of these symbol sets, use
the INTL command or the operator panel keys. Permanent setting of the symbol set is
made with the FRPO U6 and U7 parameters.
The factory setting for the symbol set at power-up is IBM PC-8 for all emulation modes.
The U0—U3 parameters of the FRPO command will be ignored in the Diablo emulation.
The line and character spacing are always 6 lines and 10 characters per inch at power-up
and after a reset.
In Diablo emulation, the printing system supports the embedded commands of word-pro-
cessing software essentially the same way as the Diablo 630 printer does for the follow-
ing features:
• Margins
• Horizontal and vertical tabulation
• Line and character spacing, including proportional spacing
• Half line feed, reverse line feed, and reverse half line feed
• Backspace and fine backspace
• Bold (shadow), double-strike, and underlining
• Graphics mode
If you attempt to print beyond the right margin, the characters will not be printed.
A feature the printing system has that the Diablo does not is the landscape orientation. To
print in landscape orientation, send the command SPO L; and select a landscape font.
Example:
To print in landscape, send the following command:
!R! SPO L; EXIT;
The automatic centering, justification and Hyplot mode of the Diablo printer are not sup-
ported.
