LQ and FX Emulation Modes Your printer has the ability to emulate an Epson LQ-2500 or FX-800/1000 (86e/286e) series printer. This means that you can connect your printer to a computer set up for an Epson LQ or FX printer and print without having to modify the software controlling your printer. Besides allowing you to use software for an LQ or FX printer, you also gain the advantages of the quality text, sharper graphics, and faster printing provided by this printer. Operating as an LQ or FX series printer Before you can operate your printer as an FX or LQ printer, you need to change the printer mode setting with the SelecType Level 2 CH CONFIG option as described in Chapter 3. Operating the printer in LQ or FX printer emulation mode offers some options not available with most LQ or FX printers, including SelecType control over almost all printer features and laser quality output. LQ and FX emulation mode command summary The tables in this section show the control codes and escape sequences supported in LQ and FX emulation modes. Some LQ and FX printer codes are not available, either because the functions are not required (such as draft printing) or are not possible because of the different technologies used in these printers. The following commands are either not available or are ignored in LQ or FX emulation mode: ESC < ESC 8 ESC 9 Unidirectional mode (one line) Disable paper end detector Enable paper end detector Appendix C C-11
