Automatic Emulation Selection - Brother HL-1260 Service Manual

AUTOMATIC EMULATION SELECTION

This printer has an automatic emulation selection function. When the
printer receives data from the computer, it automatically selects the
emulation mode. This function has been factory set to ON.
The printer can select the emulation among the following combinations:
EPSON/IBM Priority
Auto Selection Mode
To get the most out of this laser printer, we recommend you use the HP
LaserJet 4+ emulation mode, which is a true laser printer mode. Since the
HP LaserJet 4+ mode takes the highest priority in the automatic emulation
selection, you can start using the printer as it is with the factory settings in
most cases.
When the automatic emulation selection is active, you can check the
current emulation on the display. When the printer is in ready, print, or wait
states, the display reads as follows:
Emulation
HP LaserJet 4+
BR-Script 2
HP-GL
EPSON FX-850
IBM Proprinter XL
To select the emulation mode manually, use the EMULATION switch. For
