Canon BJ-30 manual Function 19 Automatic emulation switching mode, Function 1A Low ink warning

When you select combinations of FUNCTION settings not included in the list above, the printer automatically uses the 437 USA, English code page.

To see samples of the character sets available with each code page table, use Canon’s toll-free fax retrieval system to request the BJ-30 Printer Command Summary.

FUNCTION 19: Automatic emulation switching mode

Set this FUNCTION to ON to enable Automatic emulation switching mode. In this mode, the printer detects whether the codes being sent are BJ mode or Epson LQ mode. It then selects the printer’s Control mode to match the printer driver selected in the MS-DOS application.

When FUNCTION 19 is OFF, the printer’s Control mode is set by the operator panel.

Automatic emulation mode is applicable for MS-DOS applications only. When you are using Windows, the BJ-30 printer driver for Windows selects the appropriate control mode regardless of the FUNCTION settings.

N❏ If the printer does not seem to be switching between BJ mode and Epson LQ mode, disable this FUNCTION and set the operator panel to match your application’s printer driver.

❏If you are using a printer switching device, you must allow at least ten seconds for the printer to recognize an emulation change. If your printer switching device switches data in less than ten seconds, automatic emulation switching will not function properly.

FUNCTION 1A: Low ink warning

Set this FUNCTION to ON to enable the Low ink warning. When the Low ink warning is on, you can set the printer’s ink gauge each time you install a new ink tank. Then the printer will notify you when the ink tanks begins to turn low on ink. See page 73 for details.
