Your software may think that it is driving a different emulation to the one actually set. Check the EDS set- tiruzsto make sure vou have the right emulation.
Use the Hex Dump mode to analyze the output from the computer to the printer. This will enable you to deter- mine that the right escape sequences, etc are being transmitted.
