3–21Configuring the Printer
When changing from one emulation to another, the printer will load the power–up
configuration. Thus, any configuration settings done before selecting these
emulations and not saved in NVRAM will be lost.
NOTE: In order to configure an emulation, that emulation must be selected
in the ACTIVE EMULATION menu; other emulations not selected
will not appear in the menu.

“Mode” refers to the emulation software that you use. Your printer comes
equipped with the Printronix LinePrinter Plus emulation software (which emulates
an impact printer). The IGP/PGL, IGP/ VGL, IPDS, CTHI, and PhoenixPage
PCL5 software emulations are available as options.
When you turn on the printer, it reads the Flash memory as part of its
initialization, to determine what emulations are installed. Based on this
information, the printer then creates the appropriate selections on the Mode
menu. During power-up, the printer also loads the power-up set of configuration
values. The power-up set is the same as the factory set until you select a new set
for the power-up configuration.
NOTE: Each emulation can have its own set of configuration options in
addition to those that are in the printer system list. For information
on these unique configuration settings, see the appropriate
emulation manual.
