Emulations

Use the Administration/Emulations menu to set the parameters for the available printer emulations. Optional printing emulations appear only if installed.

»Note: To choose an emulation or ESP for a particular interface, use the appropriate interface menu in the Administration/Communications menu. See “Interfaces,” later in this chapter, for more information.

Setting ESP Default Parameters

ESP (Emulation Sensing Processor) technology analyzes incoming file data and selects the appropriate printer emulation from those installed on the printer. The ESP Default Emul option allows you to set the emulation used when ESP is unable to identify the language of a print job. For more information on ESP, see chapter 5, “Additional Technical Information.”
