Chapter 3 Menu Options

Emulation Menu

The LinePrinter+ emulation is the standard emulation on the printer, along with a choice of IGP/PGL, or IGP/VGL. The CTHI emulation is available when the Coax/Twinax option is installed.

The contents of the emulation menu structure will be created by the printer at run-time, and, when powered up, the printer will automatically load the default configuration values. The default set of parameters is the factory setting until a new setting is saved to non-volatile memory.

NOTE: Each emulation may have a unique set of configuration options in addition to those that are in the printer system list. See the appropriate section at the end of this chapter for those settings.
