SETTING UP

SELECTING AN EMULATION Before printing with your software, verify that the correct emulation is selected on your printer. This section describes the available emulations and their selection.

For Experienced Users:

The printer’s preselected factory setting is the Fujitsu DPL24C PLUS emulation. If this emulation is acceptable, you may skip this section.

An emulation is a set of commands used by your software to communicate with the printer. There are many different emulations available for printers. Each emulation has unique features and capabilities. This printer offers three resident emulations:

•Fujitsu DPL24C PLUS (for Fujitsu DL-series printers)

•IBM Proprinter XL24E

•Epson ESC/P2

Resident emulations are stored in the printer’s permanent memory.

Here are some points to help you determine which emulation to select:

√Determine which emulations your software supports. (Refer to your software documentation.) Since most software programs support this printer, try to run a program with the factory default emulation first. (DPL24C PLUS emulation is the factory default.) Try this emulation even if you are not sure of which emulation to choose. See Chapter 5 for detailed information about how your printer communicates with your software.

√If you are using more than one software package, determine which emulation is supported by the software you use most frequently. Select that emulation.

√If your software supports more than one emulation, select the DPL24C PLUS emulation if possible. This emulation has the greatest capabilities.

√If you want to use an emulation that is not supported by your software, contact your software manufacturer or printer dealer and ask whether support is available. You may be able to obtain a printer driver that is not shipped with the original software package.
