Every printer is shipped with factory default settings. Basic settings such as emulation, character pitch, form length etc., which many appli- cations make use of, are set. At the end of this chapter you will find a menu printout (status page) (Status page (example), page 56) which shows you the printer’s default settings.

Your printer allows you to set and use two independent menu config- urations (User 1 and User 2). If one of your applications for example requires an IBM printer while another program works better with an EPSON printer, you can set an IBM emulation configuration with the desired settings, and set the second configuration as an EPSON emu- lation.
