CHAPTER 8 CUSTOMIZING THE PRINTER This chapter describes the factory default settings of the printer and the steps you follow to customize these settings for your particular printing needs. You will find that the factory default settings provide features to meet most of your printing needs. With these settings, your printer emulates any Canon BJ printer and the IBM Proprinter X24E. This means you can use the printer with any software application that supports these printers. Make sure the printer's settings match the requirements of your software application. If you have a unique printing requirement, you can customize the printer by changing the DIP switch settings as described in this chapter. Your printer defaults to BJ-10 mode and provides numerous printing features in this mode. If your software application is designed to print only on an Epson LQ printer, you can use the DIP switches to change the printer control mode to Epson LQ. You can also enable automatic emulation switching, which allows the printer to switch between BJ-10 mode and Epson LQ mode.

CHAPTER 8
CUSTOMIZING THE PRINTER
This chapter describes the factory default settings of the printer and the
steps you follow to customize these settings for your particular printing
needs.
You will find that the factory default settings provide features to meet
most of your printing needs. With these settings, your printer emulates
any Canon BJ printer and the IBM Proprinter X24E. This means you
can use the printer with any software application that supports these
printers.
Make sure the printer's settings match the requirements of your software
application. If you have a unique printing requirement, you can
customize the printer by changing the DIP switch settings as described in
this chapter.
Your printer defaults to BJ-10 mode and provides numerous printing
features in this mode. If your software application is designed to print
only on an Epson LQ printer, you can use the DIP switches to change
the printer control mode to Epson LQ.
You can also enable automatic emulation switching, which allows the
printer to switch between BJ-10 mode and Epson LQ mode.
