Function

- Using an Emulation Control Language -

Two emulation control languages are available to change the emulation mode.

Epson Job language (EJL)

Printer Job Language (PJL)

Procedures in these languages are done entirely from the computer; there is no need to be by the printer. This is useful if the printer is located some distance away from your computer. However, you need to be an experienced user to make the best use of these control languages, so some examples are given below.

Epson Job Language (EJL)

EJL allows you to switch your printer into any of the available emulation modes.

To use EJL, make up one batch file and one text file for each emulation mode that you plan to use.

ejlhp.bat, hp.txt: To switch the printer into HP LaserJet mode

ejlfx.bat, fx.txt: To switch the printer into Epson FX mode

ejllq.bat, lq.txt: To switch the printer into Epson LQ mode

ejlgl.bat, gl.txt: To switch the printer into Epson GL mode (requires the Epson GL emulation card)
