EMULATION
The Emulation determines the printer's set of command codes.
Default emulation is PCL (PCL5E).
The function HEXDUMP is useful to analyze the data received by the printer.
Control codes are not executed, instead all data including command codes
are printed out in hexadecimal format and as ASCII characters. Any none-
printable character, such as CR, is represented as a dot (.) in the ASCII list.
$
AUTO FORM FEED
If the printdata does not fill a complete page or if there is no Form Feed
command (HEX 0C) at the end of a page this page is not printed out. The
page remains in the printer memory if this parameter is set to OFF and is
printed when the page is fed manually. Such a not completed page is
automatically printed out after a selectable time period at the end of a print
job. (Break in datastream) The time period can be set from 1 to 120 second
(see also AUTOMATIC CUT). The time out will also be activated at the end of
the print job.

of a print job. (Break in datastream) The time period can be set from 1 to 120
