3.2 Printer Emulation Support
The LinkUp 5294 enables almost any ASCII printer to emulate IBM 5224, 5225, or 5256 Printer
Workstations via its 12 distinct Printer Modules. Eleven of the Printer Modules are designed for specific
ASCII printer types. They Make use of particular features of the printers so as to optimize the module’s
performance. The twelfth module is a generic PRINT module.
NOTE
Any printer that can emulate a printer supported by one of the Printer Modules can also
be supported by that module, but the support is only as good as the emulation. See
Appendix C of this manual for a list of the various printers currently supported by the
LinkUp.
The LinkUp does not currently support all SCS commands. See the Table 3-1 for a description of which
printer module supports which SCS commands.
