1.1 About Emulation 7
1 Using Emulation
1.1 About Emulation
This chapter explains the ESC/P emulation of the printer.
Print data is data written based on certain rules (grammars). These rules (grammars) are
called "print languages".
The printer supports two types of print languages: page description language and
emulation. Page description language is a language that describes images on a page basis.
Emulation is the ability of this printer to imitate print results of other printers.
Emulation Mode
To print data written in a language other than the page description languages supported by
the printer, switch the printer to an emulation mode. The printer has multiple emulation
modes and ESC/P is one of them. In the ESC/P emulation mode, the printer emulates the
following printer.
Host Interfaces and Emulation
Each host interface supports different print languages. The following host interfaces support
ESC/P emulation:
• Parallel port
• LPD port
• NetWare port
• SMB port
• IPP port
• USB port
• Port9100 port
Note
• To use NetWare, SMB, or IPP port, the network expansion card (optional) must be installed.

81 Using Emulation
Switching Print Languages
The printer supports multiple emulation modes and can switch between multiple print
languages.
There are three methods of switching print languages.
Switching Languages by Commands
If the printer receives a command that explicitly tells which language to use, the printer
switches to that language.
Switching Languages Automatically
The printer examines data received by its host interface and automatically determines and
switches to the appropriate language.
Switching Languages by Interface
The printer can be programmed to switch to a particular language for a particular host
interface. This can be done by setting a language for each interface on the control panel.
Mode Menu Screen
The menu items for the emulation modes can be accessed from the mode menus. To
access the mode menu for the ESC/P emulation mode, press the <Menu> button and select
[Print Language] > [ESC/P]. The following is the first screen of the ESC/P mode menu.
Refer to
• For information about the items under the ESC/P mode menu, refer to “2 Setting the ESC/P Mode” (P.
12).

1.2 About Fonts 9
1.2 About Fonts
This section explains the fonts that can be used in the ESC/P emulation mode.
Supported Fonts
The following outline fonts can be used in the ESC/P emulation mode.
Note
• The supported fonts and their print samples can be viewed on the [Font List]. For information about the
[Font List], refer to “2.3 ESC/P Mode Reports/Lists” (P. 22).
Western Fonts
• Roman
• Sans Serif
•OCR-B
Chinese Fonts
Installing the Chinese font kit to the printer allows you to use the following fonts:
• Shu Song
•HeiTi
• Fang Song
•KaiTi
User-Defined Characters (External Characters)
The ESC/P emulation mode allows you to use user-defined characters (external
characters).
User-defined characters are stored in the memory (if the optional hard disk is not installed)
and are erased when the printer is switched off.
If the hard disk is installed, user-defined characters are stored in the hard disk and are
retained even when the printer is switched off.
User-defined characters are stored as bitmap fonts and cannot be shared among different
print languages.
Font Cache
Outline fonts of up to a certain size can be cached to improve print speed. When printing
outline fonts, the printer converts them into bitmap fonts. This process can be eliminated by
storing converted bitmap fonts into the memory. This is called “font caching”.
The stored bitmap fonts are erased if you switch the printer off or initialize the system.

1.3 Paper Eject Function
This section explains the paper eject function of the printer.
Forcibly Ejecting the Remaining Data
In the ESC/P emulation mode, the printer does not eject a job unless it receives a full page
worth of data. When the host interface is Parallel or USB, and if only a portion of a page is
received, the printer does not eject the page. The printer waits for the data and shows [Data
Wait] on the display until the time set under [Time-out] elapses.
In such situation, you can forcibly print the page without waiting for the time-out period to
elapse.
Use the following steps when forcibly ejecting the data remained in the printer.
Note
• If you send a job to the printer while the display says [Data Wait], the job may not be printed successfully.
Send a job to the printer after forcibly ejecting the current job or after the time-out period has elapsed.
Refer to
• For information about the [Time-out] feature, refer to the ‘User Guide’.
1. Press the <Eject/Set> button when the
display is in the state shown on the right.
The printing starts.
When the printing is finished, the display
reads [Ready to print].
Important
• When [Print Mode] (common menu) is set to [Auto],
you cannot force-eject a job since the display does not
show [Data Wait].
