USER’S GUIDE

7.Select EPSON or IBM with the ▲ or ▼ button.

Since the printer cannot distinguish between the EPSON and IBM emulation modes, you must select the EPSON or IBM emulation even in AUTO mode.

When the printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the emulation mode in any of the following combinations:

EPSON/IBM Priority	EPSON	IBM
Auto Selection Mode	HP PCL5C	HP PCL5C
	BR-Script 2	BR-Script 2
	HP-GL	HP-GL
	EPSON FX-850	IBM Proprinter XL

8.Press the Set button.

The next sub-item “KEEP PCL” appears on the display.

This function is for permanent macros and fonts downloaded in the HP PCL5C mode.

9.Turn on or off the “KEEP PCL” function with the ▲ or ▼ button.

When you do not need to keep the permanent macros and fonts used in HP PCL5C mode, turn this function off. When you want to keep them, you can turn it on.

If the function is turned on, the downloaded macros and fonts are kept in the printer’s memory until the printer is turned off, so that they are not cleared by changing the emulation to BR-Script 2 mode.

✒Note

The “KEEP PCL” function reserves free space in the printer’s memory and may cause a memory full error. If a memory full error occurs, expand the memory capacity or turn off this function.

10.Press the Set button. The “exit” message appears on the display.

11.Press the Set button again.

The printer exits from the setting mode to the off-line state.

✒Note

When you use the automatic emulation selection, try it with your application software or network server. If the function does not work properly, select a particular emulation mode manually. You can use the following commands to select the emulation on a network.
