Using the Command
The printer always operates in one of its emulation modes:
Diablo, Qume, HP LaserJet, ANSI command, or Pro-
printer/Epson (depending on the model). Through this
software command you tell the printer which mode you
want it to use.
• If
you type 0 for
n2
the printer resets the current font,
page margins, horizontal and vertical tab settings, and
the character and line spacing to their power-up con-
ditions. The printer also resets its horizontal position
to the left margin. Vertical position is not affected.
• If you write your own programs, you may find the
"99" value for
nl
useful for switching between two
modes. For example, if you first select HP LaserJet
Emulation Mode and then select ANSI Command
Mode, use the "99" to exit ANSI and return to HP
LaserJet emulation. You may find this useful for
incorporating certain features of one emulation (such
as the "quadding" found in ANSI Command Mode)
into programs written for a different emulation mode.
