CUSTOMIZING THE PRINTER
This section describes the factory default settings of the printer mode and
the steps to follow to custmise these settings for your particular printing
needs.
You will find that the factory default settings provide features to meet most of
your needs. With these settings, your printer emulates any Canon BJ color
printer and the Epson LQ printers. This means you can use the printer with
any software application that supports these printers.
Make sure the printer’s settings match the requirements of your software
application. If you have a unique printing requirement, you can customize the
printer by changing the emulation switch settings as described in this section.
If you want to print high resolution graphics in black ink only through an
MS-DOS application, or your software application is designed to print only on
an IBM Proprinter, you can use the emulation switches to change the printer
control mode to BJ mode.
You can also enable automatic emulation switching, which allows the printer
to switch between Epson LQ mode and BJ mode.
How to change the emulation switches, see page 176.
