 printers (for monochrome 

printing only).  You can print with all application programs that support one 
of these printers. 

Automatic Emulation Selection 

This printer can automatically select the printer emulation mode depending 
on the print commands it receives from the computer software. With this 
feature, many users can share the printer on a network. 

Data Compression Technology 

This printer can internally compress the received graphics and font data in 
its memory so it can print larger graphics and more fonts without the need 
for additional memory.  

Various Fonts 

This printer has 66 scalable and 12 bitmapped fonts. The fonts that can be 
used will vary according to the selected emulation mode. 

In PCL mode, you can print 13 kinds of bar codes that are listed on the next 
page.  In BR-Script mode, the printer has 165 scalable fonts.
