job data and select the appropriate emulation mode. However,
there are situations where the printer cannot select the correct
emulation mode. In this case, it must be set manually to
PS3

Set the emulation mode through the SelecType
Emulation Menu
on the printer. See “Emulation Menu” on page 69.
The printer’s emulation mode setting for the interface
that you are using is incorrect.
The emulation mode can be set individually for each interface
which receives print job data. Set the emulation mode for the
interface you are using to
PS3

Emulation Menu
on the printer. See “Emulation Menu” on page 69.
