Non-Windows Systems: Set the Emulation in the Printer Menu Your printer has three emulations: • IBM® 2480 - the factory default • Epson® ESC/P2 • Oki Data® MICROLINE® Standard If you are using a non-Windows system such as LINUX®, a non-Windows application such as a DOS® program, or an older application such as Word Perfect® 5.1, you need to make sure you have the correct emulation selected in the printer menu (see "Changing the Emulation Default in the Printer Menu" below). If you have the wrong emulation selected, you will see strange characters, incorrect fonts, etc. Important See your software documentation for information on how to select an emulation in that application. If you are directly replacing a MICROLINE ML184 Turbo or ML184 printer with the ML186 Plus, you must make sure that the printer menu on your new ML186 Plus is set to match the emulation being used for the existing printer (see "Changing the Emulation Default in the Printer Menu" below). For Non-Windows Applications Your printer is compatible with the emulations listed in the table below and will function properly with software developed for them. To make full use of the ML186 Plus printer's features, use the top entry for the applicable emulation (e.g., IBM 2480). Entries further down (e.g., IBM Graphics Printer Plus, IBM Graphics Printer) work well with the printer, but do not provide full use of the printer's capabilities. 37 • Setting Up Your Printer

Setting Up Your Printer
Non-Windows Systems:
Set the Emulation in the Printer Menu
Your printer has three emulations:
• IBM
®
2480 — the factory default
• Epson
®
ESC/P2
•
Oki Data
®
MICROLINE
®
Standard
If you are using a non-Windows system such as LINUX
®
, a
non-Windows application such as a DOS
®
program, or an older
application such as Word Perfect
®
5.1, you need to make sure you
have the correct emulation selected in the printer menu (see
"Changing the Emulation Default in the Printer Menu" below). If
you have the wrong emulation selected, you will see strange
characters, incorrect fonts, etc.
If you are directly replacing a MICROLINE ML184 Turbo or ML184
printer with the ML186 Plus, you must make sure that the printer
menu on your new ML186 Plus is set to match the emulation being
used for the existing printer (see "Changing the Emulation Default
in the Printer Menu" below).
For Non-Windows Applications
Your printer is compatible with the emulations listed in the table
below and will function properly with software developed for them.
To make full use of the ML186 Plus printer’s features, use the top
entry for the applicable emulation (e.g., IBM 2480). Entries further
down (e.g., IBM Graphics Printer Plus, IBM Graphics Printer)
work
well with the printer, but do not provide full use of the printer’s
capabilities.
Important
See your software documentation for information on how to
select an emulation in that application.
