Automatic Emulation Selection 

This printer has an Automatic Emulation Selection feature. When the 
printer receives data from the computer, it automatically chooses the 
emulation mode. This feature has been set at the factory to ON. 

The printer can choose from the following combinations:

You can select the emulation mode manually by using the control 
panel Menu buttons to go to the SETUP menu to change the 
EMULATION. For more information, see Chapter 3.

When you use the Automatic Emulation Selection, please 
remember the following:  

■

You must select the EPSON or IBM emulation mode 
priority because the printer cannot tell the difference 
between them. Since the factory setting is the EPSON 
emulation mode, you might need to select the IBM 
emulation mode by using the control panel Menu buttons to 
go to the SETUP menu to change the EMULATION.

■

Try Automatic Emulation Selection with your application 
software or network server. If it does not work properly, 
select the emulation mode manually using either the printer 
control panel buttons or the emulation selection commands 
from your software.
