About Emulation Modes

This printer has the following emulation modes.

♦

 

HP LaserJet Mode

 

 

The HP LaserJet mode (or HP mode) is the emulation mode in which this
printer emulates the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet laser printer. Many software
applications support this type of laser printer. Using this mode will allow your
printer to operate at its optimum performance with those applications.

 

 

 

♦

 

BR-Script 3 Mode

BR-Script is an original page description language and a PostScript
language emulation interpreter. This printer supports level 3. The BR-Script
interpreter of this printer enables full and satisfactory control of text and
graphics on pages.

Average users will not need extensive knowledge of the PostScript language.
