Before printing with your software, verify that the correct emulation is
selected on your printer. This section describes the available emulations and
their selection.
For Experienced Users:
The printer’s preselected factory setting is the Epson ESC/P2 emulation. If
this emulation is acceptable, you may skip this section.
An emulation is a set of commands used by your software to communicate
with the printer. There are many different emulations available for printers.
Each emulation has unique features and capabilities. This printer offers two
resident emulations:
•
Epson ESC/P2
•
IBM Proprinter XL24E
Resident emulations are stored in the printer’s permanent memory.
Here are some points to help you determine which emulation to select:
√
Determine which emulations your software supports. (Refer to your
software documentation.) Since most software programs support this
printer, try to run a program with the factory default emulation first.
(ESC/P2 emulation is the factory default.) Try this emulation even if
you are not sure of which emulation to choose. See Chapter 5 for
detailed information about how your printer communicates with your
software.
√
If you are using more than one software package, determine which
emulation is supported by the software you use most frequently.
Select that emulation.
√
If your software supports more than one emulation, select the ESC/P2
emulation if possible. This emulation has the greatest capabilities.
√
If you want to use an emulation that is not supported by your software,
contact your software manufacturer or printer dealer and ask whether
support is available. You may be able to obtain a printer driver that is
not shipped with the original software package.
