HP Emulation Mode

HP emulation mode allows you to use commercial software designed for the HP LaserJet series IIP printer. This means you can connect your printer to a computer configured for an HP LaserJet series IIP printer without having to modify computer software.

This section gives you information about using HP emulation. It describes the unique features of your printer’s HP emulation as well as the differences between EPL-7000 HP emulation mode and printing with the HP LaserJet series IIP itself. A list of printer commands is also provided.

Operating as an HP LaserJet series IIP printer

Your printer is factory set to operate in HP emulation mode. Operating the printer in HP emulation mode differs slightly from operating a LaserJet series IIP because the two printers use different technologies.
