ACTIVE IGP EMUL and ACTIVE EMULATIONS
The emulation types present in the printer are based on the firmware installed
and the emulation options included. Both are configured from the Factory and
do not require any action from the user.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to know which type of firmware and options are purchased
(see Table 4) to understand the ACTIVE IGP EMUL, ACTIVE
EMULATION, and EMULATION main menus. The H-Series and Indian
Language printers only have the Line emulation.
This ACTIVE IGP EMUL and ACTIVE EMULATION function allows you to
activate the desired emulation. There are two methods for selecting the
desired emulation. The first is by selecting the emulation directly from the
printer menu. The second is by sending a host command which will switch the
emulation automatically (see the appropriate Programmer's Reference
Manual
for details ).
When changing from one emulation to the other, the printer will load the
power-up configuration and the new emulation parameters. Any configuration
settings performed before selecting these emulations that are not saved in
NVRAM will be lost.
