CHAPTER 3 BEFORE WORKING WITH THE PRINTER CHAPTER 3 BEFORE WORKING WITH THE PRINTER AUTOMATIC EMULATION SELECTION This printer has an automatic emulation selection function. When the printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the emulation mode. This function has been factory set to ON. The printer can select the emulation among the following combinations: EPSON/IBM Priority Auto Selection Mode EPSON (default) HP PCL 5C BR-Script 2 HP-GL EPSON FX-850 IBM HP PCL 5C BR-Script 2 HP-GL IBM Proprinter XL To get the best possible color output, we recommend you use the Brother BR-Script 2 emulation. The printer is set to the HP color printer emulation (PCL5C) mode automatically. Since PCL5C mode takes the highest priority in the automatic emulation selection, you can start using the printer as it is with the factory settings in most cases. When the automatic emulation selection is active, you can check the current emulation on the display. When the printer is in ready, print or wait modes, the display reads as follows: Emulation HP PCL5C BR-Script 2 HP-GL EPSON FX-850 IBM Proprinter XL Status Display in Ready State LJ READY 001P T1 BS IDLE 001P T1 GL READY 001P T1 FX READY 001P T1 PR READY 001P T1  Notes Emulation modes other than PCL5C and BR-Script 2 are monochrome emulation modes. To select the emulation mode manually, use the Emulation button. For further information, see "EMULATION Button" in Chapter 4. 3-1

CHAPTER 3
BEFORE WORKING WITH THE PRINTER
AUTOMATIC EMULATION SELECTION
This printer has an automatic emulation selection function. When the
printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the
emulation mode. This function has been factory set to ON.
The printer can select the emulation among the following combinations:
EPSON/IBM Priority
EPSON (default)
IBM
Auto Selection Mode
HP PCL 5C
HP PCL 5C
BR-Script 2
BR-Script 2
HP-GL
HP-GL
EPSON FX-850
IBM Proprinter XL
To get the best possible color output, we recommend you use the Brother
BR-Script 2 emulation.
The printer is set to the HP color printer emulation (PCL5C) mode
automatically. Since PCL5C mode takes the highest priority in the
automatic emulation selection, you can start using the printer as it is with
the factory settings in most cases.
When the automatic emulation selection is active, you can check the
current emulation on the display. When the printer is in ready, print or
wait modes, the display reads as follows:
Emulation
Status Display in Ready State
HP PCL5C
LJ READY 001P T1
BR-Script 2
BS IDLE
001P T1
HP-GL
GL READY 001P T1
EPSON FX-850
FX READY 001P T1
IBM Proprinter XL
PR READY 001P T1
Notes
Emulation modes other than PCL5C and BR-Script 2 are monochrome
emulation modes.
To select the emulation mode manually, use the
Emulation
button. For
further information, see
“EMULATION Button” in Chapter 4
