15.3 Alternate Protocols Supported by the LA600 MultiPrinter

This part of the manual describes the DEC PPL2 protocol as implemented on

the LA600 MultiPrinter. The LA600 MultiPrinter also emulates the protocols

for printing on the following devices:

• IBM Proprinter XL24

• Epson LQ1060/2550

The protocol mode is changed using either the Select Other Coding System

(SOCS)/Return from Other Coding System (ROCS) command combination or

the IBM Proprinter Emulation Mode (DECIPEM) command. These commands

are described in the Command Dictionary.

Table 15–3 lists the SOCS/ROCS command sequence to enter emulation mode

for each of the protocols supported by the LA600 MultiPrinter.
