you have the wrong emulation selected, you will see strange characters, incorrect fonts, etc.
Important
See your software documentation for information on how to select an emulation in that application.
If you are directly replacing a MICROLINE ML184 Turbo or ML184 printer with the ML186, you must make sure that the printer menu on your new ML186 is set to match the emulation being used for the existing printer (see “Changing the Emulation Default in the Printer Menu” below).
For Non-Windows Applications
Your printer is compatible with the emulations listed in the table below and will function properly with software developed for them. To make full use of the ML186 printer’s features, use the top entry for the applicable emulation (e.g., IBM 2480). Entries further down (e.g., IBM Graphics Printer Plus, IBM Graphics Printer) work well with the printer, but do not provide full use of the printer’s capabilities.
