Using Other Emulations

Your printer is designed to work best in its LJ4 emulation mode, so LJ4 emulation mode is recommended whenever possible. If you want to use an emulation other than LJ4, you can select ESC/ P 2, FX, l239X, or GL/2 emulation mode.

Match the emulation mode in the Emulation Menu with drivers or print data already formatted for EPSON LQ or FX series printers, or IBM printers.

Note:

The printer’s intelligent emulation switching (IES) feature automatically switches between emulation modes, depending on the received data. The available emulation modes are LJ4, GL2, I239X, ESC/ 5 P 2 and FX.

The default setting for the emulation mode is [Auto], and the intelligent emulation switching function is validated. Use the printer driver or SelecType for modifying the emulation mode.

ESC/P 2 or FX Mode

This section lists the ESCP2 menu and FX menu options. Unless specifically mentioned, the same items are available for either mode.

Font

The Font option selects a font by typeface.

The factory default font is Courier. After selecting the desired font, you can also adjust the character spacing and size of the font with the Pitch and Condensed options described below.
