Limitations for Epson Emulation

The following limitations must be considered when using the SureMark printer to emulate an Epson single-station printer.

vLogos and downloadable characters are supported in emulation mode. However, because the Epson printer prints at 150 dpi and the SureMark prints at 200 dpi, the emulated printout will be smaller.

vEmulation of page mode is not supported on the SureMark.

vEpson supports the Select paper sensor to stop printing command. IBM does not support a low paper sensor.

Changing the Printer Mode between DBCS and SBCS

To disable DBCS printing (that is, to enter SBCS mode), use the 4610 DBCS

Installation Utility Diskette.

Note: This procedure requires 4610 DBCS Installation Utility Diskette V1.00 or later.

1.Insert the 4610 DBCS Installation Utility Diskette in drive A.

2.Power on the system unit.

3.Select Change Printer Mode when the menu is displayed.

4.Perform the specified steps to change the printer mode.

To set to DBCS Mode:

a.Select DBCS Mode.

b.Press Ctrl-Alt-Deleteto reboot the system. The system IPLs.

To set to SBCS Mode:

a.Select SBCS Mode.
