Note:
• The Emulation Auto-Detection function will not work if the
"Emulation Auto Detect" command in the Sub Menu in the
"System Setup" in the Top Menu is set to "Off". (The command is
set to "On" when shipped from the factory)
• After the Emulation Auto-Detection function is activated, this
function will not work unless the printer is turned Off and then
turned On again.
• If the "Emulation Auto Detect" function is set to "Full Auto", this
will cause the printer to automatically restart when it detects
an alternative emulation. This is useful for remotely located
machines where the control panel cannot be accessed.
