Line Printer Emulation (Mode 0) Automatic emulation sensing In printing systems that permit the selection of KPDL emulation, the automatic emulation sensing (AES) can be activated so that print jobs using other emulations will automatically print in the correct emulation. Refer to the AES related FRPO command parameters, P4 and P5, in Interface-independent Parameters on page 5 in Chapter 6. General Information on Emulation The printing system's capability for supporting seven printer emulations is remarkably complete; although a few differences are noteworthy: • The printing system cannot print on paper larger than the size of its cassette. In particular, it cannot print on continuous forms. • The 600 dpi and 1200 dpi resolutions are supported only with HP LaserJet and KPDL emulations. Even for the models with 600 dpi and 1200 dpi support, printing occurs only with the 300 dpi resolution in Line Printer, IBM Proprinter, Diablo, and Epson emulation modes. • The printing system's fonts do not duplicate the appearance of the fonts of the emulated printers exactly. For a fixed font, the printing system provides the same character spacing as the printer under emulation. This is not always true for proportional spacing. When proportional spacing is used, your word processing software, using an HP LaserJet driver, may be unable to properly right justify proportional text. • The printing system supports scalable (outline) fonts. With the assistance of PRESCRIBE commands, the scalable fonts are available for printing in any one of the emulation modes. (See Chapter 4 for details.) • The graphics commands which create a path are also supported in all emulation modes. Instructions on how to create a path are described in Chapter 2. • In all emulations, the printing system's margins differ slightly between emulations. The margins can be adjusted with PRESCRIBE margin commands. However, they cannot be moved outside the paper edge limits. • PRESCRIBE commands can also be used for supplementary font control. Examples are given in each section (FONT, SFNT, etc.). Line Printer Emulation (Mode 0) To set the power-up emulation for Line Printer, send the printing system the following PRESCRIBE command sequence: !R! FRPO P1, 0 ; FRPO P3, 1; FRPO U6, 1; EXIT; The Line Printer character set options are the same as for the IBM emulation. FRPO U6, 1 selects the full IBM US ASCII character set, which includes many international characters, graphic symbols, and mathematical symbols in addition to standard ASCII. If you leave the U6 parameter at its 0 factory setting, you will get a subset excluding some international characters and symbols. The other options are US Legal (FRPO U6, 9;) and the Danish character set (FRPO U6, 4;). See Section for details. The line printer emulation is virtually featureless. It uses only the control codes listed below. 7-3
