You should keep the following in mind when selecting the emulation.

Only the 3812 emulation supports HP laser printer commands.

If you have a choice between the 5224 and 4214 emulations, you should select 4214. The 4214 emulation adds control of the following features: lines per inch, pitch, graphics, print quality, and single-sheet handling.

If your printer supports Epson Job Language (EJL) commands, do not change the printer mode using the EJL commands or the command-pass-thru feature while the interface is installed. Also you may not be able to change the printer mode using the control panel.

Never select the PostScript™ printer mode while this interface is installed.

PREPARING TO INSTALL THE INTERFACE CARD

Before installing this interface card you may need to set several jumpers, depending on the following factors:

The type of Epson printer you are using

The type of IBM printer you want the interface to emulate

The type of twin-axial connector your host system uses
