Selecting Emulation Features

114

Language Level

The languagelevel command selects Level 1 or Level 2 for PostScript print jobs.

This command requests the corresponding compatibility mode from the printer. If the 
default mode configured at the console differs from the selection, the current state of the 
PostScript emulation is discarded. The emulation acts as if the printer was just powered 
on. For example, downloaded fonts and forms are deleted.

Dithering

The ditherdefault command selects the amount of noise applied to the standard dithering 
algorithm. 

The range represents noise applied over 0.0 to 5.0 gray levels. A noise setting of 0.0 
indicates that the default algorithm is to be used.

Lineprinter Emulation Commands

The lineprinter emulation commands provide font and formatting controls when printing 
in lineprinter mode. 

Lineprinter emulation does not support the newlayout command.
