Appendix D: Commands–IBM Emulation

This appendix contains the commands for the IBM X24e/ XL24e Proprinter and X24e AGM/ XL24e AGM emulations, grouped by function.

Normally the commands in this table override Menu settings. Except as noted, these commands are cancelled and the printer returns to factory and Menu settings when the printer receives an Initialization, Software I-Prime, or Change Emulation command, or when it is turned off and then on again.
