NEW EMULATION MODE:650
This screen follows the STROBE ADJUST screen. This screen allows the
selection of an emulation mode. The 656 / 636 is capable of emulating
other PAXAR printers. When in this mode, the 656 / 636 will produce PCL
tags as close as possible to the tags produced by the printer being emulated.
Formats designed for the 656 / 636 can not be printed on the older printers,
but formats designed for the older printers emulated by the 656 / 636 can be
printed on the 656 / 636 printer.
Compatibility Notes:
• If the dpi of the 656 / 636 printer does not match the emulating printers
dpi, then certain field types such as barcodes, logos, care symbols will
not be the exact size of the fields printed on the older printer.
