• This command enables you to switch emulation mode or to reset the printer.
• Change emulation mode by setting mode to the appropriate letter or pair of letters. Set mode to ‘D’ to
switch to Diablo mode, ‘H’ to switch to LaserJet mode, ‘I’ to switch to IBM Proprinter XL mode, 'AB'
to switch to BR-Script Batch mode, 'AI' to switch BR-Script Interactive mode, 'GL' to switch to HP-GL
mode.
• If you set mode to ‘E’ in Epson FX-850 mode , a printer reset is performed.
• If you set mode to ‘FD’, to reset the printer to its factory default settings, LaserJet mode (the factory
default emulation mode) is selected and the LaserJet factory default environment is restored. For a list
of the factory default settings see the sub-section “Factory default environment” in Chapter 2 "PCL"
of this manual.
• On receiving this command the printer prints any remaining data and performs a page eject (unless the
current page is blank). The newly selected emulation mode’s default settings come into effect, except
when mode is set to ‘FD’.
