CHAPTER 3 BEFORE WORKING WITH THE PRINTER
3–3
AUTOMATIC EMULATION SELECTION
This printer has an automatic emulation selection function. When the
printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the
emulation mode. This function has been factory set to ON.
The printer can select the emulation among the following combinations:
EPSON/IBM Priority EPSON (default) IBM
Auto Selection Mode HP LaserJet HP LaserJet
BR-Script 2 BR-Script 2
HP-GL HP-GL
EPSON FX-850 IBM Proprinter XL
To get the most out of this laser printer, we recommend you use the HP
LaserJet emulation mode, which is a true laser printer mode. Since the HP
LaserJet mode takes the highest priority in the automatic emulation
selection, you can start using the printer as it is with the factory settings in
most cases.
When the automatic emulation selection is active, you can check the
current emulation on the display. When the printer is in ready, print, or
wait states, the display reads as follows:
Emulation Status Display in Ready State
HP LaserJet LJ READY 001P T1
BR-Script 2 BS IDLE 001P T1
HP-GL GL READY 001P T1
EPSON FX-850 FX READY 001P T1
IBM Proprinter XL PR READY 001P T1
To select the emulation mode manually, use the EMULATION switch.
For further information, see “EMULATION Switch” in Chapter 4.
