Description The [ESC] y <n> command enables and disables command set features.
It is possible that the IPCL commands will interfere with print data. If this
occurs, the IPCL can be disabled with an [ESC] y <4> command.
Note 1: Once IPCL commands are disabled, the Enable IPLC command
will not be a valid IPCL code.
Note 2: [ESC] y <0>, <1>, <2>, and <3> allow the printer to switch
between emulation modes. When the switch takes place, the current print
buffer is printed, and the printer reinitializes. These commands do not
permanently change the configuration. A power on reset restores the
mode that was configured in menu mode. A reset by command or from
the INIT pin does not restore the mode.
