CHAPTER 3 BEFORE WORKING WITH THE PRINTER
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 4+ | HP LaserJet 4+ |
| ||
|
| |
| EPSON | IBM Proprinter XL |
|
|
|
To get the most out of this laser printer, we recommend you use the HP LaserJet 4+ emulation mode, which is a true laser printer mode. Since the HP LaserJet 4+ 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:
EmulationStatus Display in Ready State
HP LaserJet 4+ | LJ READY | 001P T1 | ||
BS IDLE | 001P | T1 | ||
GL READY | 001P | T1 | ||
EPSON | 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 “EMUL ATION Switch” in Chapter 4 .
