Using Printer Setup Parameters
The second section on the Setup menu is printer setup. The most impor-
tant printer setup parameter is emulation, which must be set so that it is
compatible with your application program.
Set Printer Emulation
EMUL lets you select a printer emulation for the printer to use. Selecting
an emulation enables the printer to print data that is formatted for other
popular printers. This makes the printer compatible with a wider range of
software applications, including those that are not directly compatible with
these printers. The emulations you can choose from depend on those
loaded in FLASH memory. On standard printers, you can select from the
following emulations:
99
99
9 AMT. This is the printer's native language.
99
99
9 Diab630. This is the Diablo 630 daisywheel printer.

9 EpsonJX. This is the Epson JX color dot-matrix printer.

9 EpsonLQ. This is the Epson LQ-2550 color dot-matrix printer.

9 IBMXL24. This is the IBM Proprinter XL24 color dot-matrix printer.
99
99
9 BarCode. This is the printer's internal bar code emulation. When
you select this emulation, the printer emulates the Epson LQ-2550 but
also provides bar code printing. Refer to the Bar Codes appendix of
this guide for more information.
99
99
9 HexMode. This selects the hexadecimal mode wherein the printer
prints the hexadecimal and ASCII representation of every byte it
receives instead of actually interpretting and printing the data. This
function is useful when you need to view the actual codes being sent
from the host computer to the printer.

0010: 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 5A 5B 5C 5D 5E 5F 60 QRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`
Always select a printer emulation that is supported by your software.
When you change the emulation using this parameter, the printer retains
the current settings but clears the data input buffer.
