IBM Proprinter Emulation
Emulation refers to the ability of a printer to execute the commands of other
printer control languages. In IBM Proprinter Emulation mode, the printer
prints files coded for the Proprinter. You can choose one of three ways to
select Proprinter emulation, as explained in "Selecting IBM Proprinter
Emulation" below.
A printer control language (also called a printer protocol) is the coding
system used to convey, manipulate, and print data. It contains character codes
and command sequences.
A printer and its host computer must use the same printer control language.
In this manual, the terms printer control language, emulation, and protocol
are synonymous.
Selecting IBM Proprinter Emulation
You can select IBM Proprinter emulation three ways.
Selecting IBM Proprinter Emulation via the Control Panel
Digital emulation is the default mode when the printer is turned on, but you
can select Proprinter emulation at any time from the control panel:
1.
If the printer is on–line, press the ON LINE switch to place it in the
off–line state. "Off–line Emulation" appears on the message display.
2.
Open the printer cover.
3.
Press the UP and DOWN switches simultaneously to unlock the ENTER
switch. "Unlocked" appears briefly on the message display. (If
"Locked" appears, simply press UP and DOWN again.)

displays. (Default is Digital emulation.) If "Emulation Proprinter XL *"
displays, go to step 7.
