After selecting a printer, you can use software commands for all the standard printer functions through the application programs. This includes bold or double strike printing, underlining, superscripts, subscripts, margin control, line spacing control, and graphics.

Selecting a Printer Control Mode

Your printer has three Control modes:

❏BJ mode, which emulates the IBM Proprinter X24E

❏Epson LQ mode, which emulates the Epson LQ-2550 printer

❏Canon Extended mode

You can select BJ mode or Epson LQ mode with the operator panel. Canon BJ mode is the default.

The Canon Extended mode is different from the other two printer control modes. It is automatically selected through the printer driver when the printer is in either BJ mode or Epson LQ mode; therefore, no adjustment is necessary for the printer to select it.
