2. When “AUTO DETECT ON” or “AUTO DETECT ON SET” is selected, the printer starts in the auto
detection mode which automatically determines whether to enable Z-Mode or D-Mode by a first control
character the printer receives. Also, “EMULATION MODE” is displayed on the LCD. After Z-Mode or D-
Mode is selected, mode detection is not performed until the printer power is turned off and back to on.
