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 using the MODE ASSIGN setting in
SelecType Level 2. See Chapter 4.
Operating the printer in LQ or FX printer emulation mode offers
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.
