The DP-541 printer is capable of using several different emulation modes. This feature sets the family of printer
commands that may be used by a host application program to control the various capabilities of the printer. The
printer will only respond to commands valid for the currently selected emulation. For more information, please
refer to the
Integrator’s Guide
.
Besides the popular printer languages to choose from, the following selections allow the DP-541 to print many
other file formats directly, without the need for a driver.
AUTOIMAGE
– selected when mixed PDF and POSTSCRIPT images are sent to the printer. The printer will
determine which type of file has been sent. This can increase printer response time.
– When in this mode the printer will directly print Portable Document Files (PDF).
POSTSCRIPT
– When in this mode the printer will directly print Postscript formatted files (.ps). You can also
use a generic Postscript driver to print when in this mode.
IMAGE
– selected if just image files are being sent to the printer. When in this mode the printer will directly print
the following file types: .png, .jpg, .bmp, .pbm, .svg, .tiff
Default Font:
The DP-541 has the ability to use True Type Fonts. All True Type Fonts loaded into printer memory are listed
here. When using emulations that do not specify the font for each line of text, select the font you would like to
use as the default font. All print jobs will use the default font unless a command is sent to the printer to use
another font.
Chars Per Inch and Default Text Line Spacing:
This determines how large the characters are and how many characters will print in a one inch space. The
higher the number, the greater the number of lines per vertical inch of print.
