PRINTER CONTROL COMMANDS

This printer has two emulation modes: Standard/Epson mode and IBM mode,

In Standard/Epson mode, the printer emulates the functions of the Epson LQ- 1060 and the graphics commands for NEC 24-wire printers. In IBM mode, the printer emulates the IBM Proprinter XL24E. Additional command codes are included as a superset of these emulations.

The emulation is changed by means of EDS switch A-1. When it is ON, the printer is in Standard/Epson mode, and when OFF, the printer is in IBM mode (see Chapter 5).

In addition, when EDS switch A-2 is ON, the printer automatically changes the emulation by means of software control.

This chapter describes the printer’s control commands. Some commands are common to both the Standard and IBM modes. In the descriptions of the commands, all commands will be given by functions. The name of each command is followed by a table like the one below:
