Emulation modes
The CognitiveTPG A760 printer may be operated in a number of different emulation modes.
However, printing characteristics and defaults may differ, depending on the desired mode.
For instance, two-color paper and ColorPOS
®
commands and features are available only
in A760 native mode.

emulations
The following list claries how the A760 printer will behave in each emulation mode:
Two-color paper and ColorPOS
®
commands and features are supported only in A760 native mode.
• If the paper type is changed using the 0x1D 0x81 command, the font and default lines per inch (LPI)
will be setup as in the table above.
• If only the font is changed, the default LPI will automatically be changed as in the table above.
• If emulation is switched to A758 or A756 emulation(s), the paper type will automatically be changed to monochrome
paper, and the font and LPI will be changed as in the table above.
• If emulation is switched from any emulation to A760 native, the font and LPI will remain unchanged because the A760
native mode supports all font and LPI options offered in the emulation modes.
