Introduction
This manual is for anyone who wants to access and control the
printer with commands instead of, or in conjunction with,
application software.
When you load and configure your software application package
you are asked to identify the type of printer that you will be
using. This is generally known as selecting a printer driver. A
printer driver translates the programming language into the
specific language that the printer understands. The 4213 printer
has the ability to operate in three different emulation modes:
• XES Mode
• HP LaserJet Mode
• PostScript Language Mode (optional)
Once this is done all commands sent to the printer are for that
specific type of printer. It is important to know how your
software application package is configured so that you know
what control language you should use to programme.
It is recommended that you contact your software vendor before
attempting to to use any of the control languages. They will
usually be glad to assist you and can save you a great deal of
time and frustration. In some cases they will modify the printer
driver for you or provide you with a new printer driver that
already contains the modifications you desire. If they are unable
to assist you, then you should be able to use this Manual to
control the printer. However, to perform most of the tasks
covered here, some knowledge of programming is desirable.
