Changing the Emulation
Normally you change the emulation using SelecType.
Advanced users may send printer commands specific to each
emulation directly to the printer. See Appendix B for a list of all
available commands.
When changing the LJ4 emulation to another emulation, you
might need to change some SelecType settings to account for
differences between the ActionLaser 1600 and dot matrix
printers or GL/2 plotters. Also, some printer settings are
interpreted differently, depending on the emulation. For more
specific information about possible changes to printer settings,
see “Epson ESC/P 2 and FX Emulations” and “Epson GL/2
Emulation.”
Note:
Emulation settings are stored in printer memory. Each time the
emulation is changed, the printer must reconfigure its memory for the
new emulation. Any other printer data being stored in memoy, such
as downloaded fonts, will be lost.
To change the emulation using SelecType:
1. Press the Menu button until you reach the EMULATION
MENU.
2. Press the Item button to select the interface port you want
to configure.
3. Press the arrow button to select the emulation to be used for
the specified interface.
4. Press the Enter button to save the emulation.
5. Hold down the Alt button and press Reset to update the
printer with the new settings.
