Selecting a Printer Control Mode
Your printer has three printer control modes:
❐
Epson LQ mode, which emulates the Epson LQ-2550 printer
❐
BJ mode, which emulates the IBM Proprinter X24E
❐
Canon Extended mode
You can select Epson LQ mode or BJ mode with the emulation switches.
Epson LQ mode is the default.
The Canon Extended mode is different from the other two printer control
modes. It is automatically selected through the printer driver when the printer
is in either Epson LQ mode or BJ mode; therefore, no adjustment is
necessary for the printer to select it.
The printer control mode you select depends on the printer driver you were
able to select in your applications.
❐
For color printing:
If you were able to select a Canon color BJ printer or a color Epson LQ
printer through your application program, you will want to use the printer in
Epson LQ mode.
This mode gives you the color print capability and versatile text features.
❐
For black printing:
If you will not be printing in color and you were able to select a Canon BJ
printer or the IBM Proprinter X24E through your application program, you will
want to use the printer in BJ mode.
You can also select a printer control mode based on specific text features
you want to use in your document.
The following table lists the typefaces and pitches that are available in Epson
LQ mode and BJ mode.
