Emulation Sensing Processor (ESP)
ESP technology is another standard feature of Crown architecture.
ESP technology, which works with most popular commercially avail-
able applications, uses a form of artificial intelligence to analyze
incoming file data and select the appropriate printer emulation (for
example, PostScript, PCL 5, imPRESS, or Lineprinter) from those
installed on the printer.
The print job is processed without your having to change printer
switch settings or send software commands to accommodate different
printer emulations.
When your printer is in ESP mode, you can easily print files prepared
for a PostScript, HP PCL 5, Lineprinter, or imPRESS printer. The file
prints correctly as long as it begins with the usual commands for such
items as page formats and job parameters (number of copies, page
margins, fonts), whether you have one, two, or more host computer
systems, and whether you are communicating through a serial, paral-
lel, or LocalTalk interface.
Communication Modes
You can allow your printer to operate in its default PostScript mode,
reconfigure its ports to accept jobs in only HP PCL 5 or another emu-
lation, or reconfigure its ports for ESP mode.
If you do want to reconfigure the interface ports, the easiest way is to
use the printer's control panel (the Administration/ Communications
submenu) or the console. Configuring the printer through the control
panel is described earlier in this manual and is outlined on the printer
control panel guide. Configuring the printer from the console is
described in the Crown Remote Console User's Guide .
