Chapter 3 Using the Operator Panel

KPDL (AUTO) Emulation

KPDL is the Kyocera’s implementation of the PostScript lan- guage. The KPDL (AUTO) emulation enables the printer to automatically change the emulation mode according to the data received when printing.

In addition to KPDL (AUTO) emulation, you can use the operator panel to set another emulation mode that is used very often. The default setting is PCL 6.
