Changing the Emulation Default in the Printer Menu

The default for the emulation in the printer menu is IBM. If you wish to change the menu default to another emulation:

1.Make sure continuous forms paper is loaded.

2.Turn the printer off.

3.Press and hold SELECT while turning the printer back on. The printer enters the menu mode.

4.Press FORM FEED.

The first line of the menu prints, showing the emulation engaged. For example:

Emulation Mode

IBM

5.Press TOF SET once or twice until the emulation you wish to engage appears in the right-hand column.

Each time you press TOF SET, a new line prints and the setting which appears in the last column changes. For example:

Printer	Control	Emulation	Mode	Epson
Printer	Control	Emulation	Mode	ML

6.Press PITCH and MODE together to save your setting and exit the printer menu.
