Configuring your software for the printer

Most application software programs let you specify the type of printer you are using so that the software can take full advantage of the printer’s features.

Many of these software packages provide an installation or setup program that presents a list of printers.

This printer is preset to emulate the Epson printer commands. If you want to emulate the IBM printer commands, you can select IBM with the Electronic DIP Switch (EDS) mode.

Choose one of the following (in the order of preference) according to your selected Emulation mode:

#Standard (Epson) mode IBM mode

1	Star NX-241511	Proprinter XL24E
2	Star NX-2415	Proprinter XL24

3Star NB24- 15

4Epson LQ-106O

5Epson LQ- 1050

If your software package does not mention printers by name, but asks instead what features your printer is capable of, the most common questions are: “Can your printer perform a backspace?” and “Can it do a hardware form feed?” you should answer “Yes” to both these questions.

Make sure that the Electronic DIP Switch (EDS) is set for the correct printer emulation, and that you have also selected the appropriate character set. (Refer to Chapter 5 for detailed information on the EDS mode.)

NOTE: If you are in doubt about the configuration of your application software, seek expert advice. Your software supplier will probably be your most qualified reference.
