The printer lists these options when the corresponding identity card

is installed.

When you select the one of the intelligent emulation switch (IES) settings, the printer switches automatically between the two indicated modes, depending on the data it receives. However, sometimes the display shows READY and the name of the mode used most recently. During this timeout period the printer can use only the indicated mode. Do not send data in the other mode until the timeout is over, which is indicated by the display showing both modes.

Note: When you are using a program you developed that sends PostScript files, be sure that data is followed by a Ctrl-D ( ^ D). Otherwise, the printer does not switch the emulation mode properly with the Intelligent Emulation Switch Feature.
