1.4 Emulations and Compatibility with IBM PC Printers
The DL9300/9400 has two emulations in addition to the Fujitsu DPL24C PLUS command set. These are all
resident in ROM:
Fujitsu DPL24C PLUS, including bar code commands
IBM Proprinter XL24E emulation
Epson ESC/P2 emulation
The user can run many software applications without changing computer or application software, just by select-
ing an emulation using the printer control panel or the DLMENU.
When the IBM Proprinter XL24E emulation is selected, the command set and aspect ratio of the graphics are
exactly the same as the IBM Proprinter when alternate graphics mode (AGM) is selected from the printer control
panel in setup mode.
Many 24-wire printers produce graphics having a different aspect ratio than other manufacturers' printers
because of different spacing of the print head wires. The DL9300/9400 produces the same aspect ratio as IBM
PC printers, including 9-wire printers. This offers the advantage of full compatibility with graphics software for
IBM printers.
