Page 73: Active Emulation (If Installed)
There are two methods for selecting the desired emulation. The first is by selecting the emulation directly from the printer menu. The second is by sending a host command which will switch the emulation automatically (see the appropriate Programmer’s Reference Manual for details).
Page 74: Mode Menu
“Mode” refers to the emulation software that you use. Your printer comes equipped with the Printronix LinePrinter Plus emulation software (which emulates an impact printer). The IGP/PGL, IGP/ VGL, IPDS, CTHI, and PhoenixPage PCL5 software emulations are available as options.
Page 75: Host Interface Menu
When you turn on the printer, it reads the Flash memory as part of its initialization, to determine what emulations are installed. Based on this information, the printer then creates the appropriate selections on the Mode menu. During power-up, the printer also loads the power-up set of configuration values.

Page 83 ETX/ACK The ETX/ACK protocol enables the flow of communication to the printer by sending a block of data, and ending the block with an End of Text (ETX) signal. When the printer receives the ETX signal, it acknowledges the signal, thereby indicating it has received the entire block of data.
Page 84 Online State Online Offline With the SERIES 1, 1 CH protocol selected, if the printer receives a Series 1 poll character from the host, the printer removes the poll character from its input data stream and discards it. After a delay, called the poll delay, the printer replies to the host by sending the appropriate response character, per the preceding table.
Page 85 If there is enough room in the printer buffer, the printer will send a high signal; if the buffer is full, the printer will send a low signal. DTR tells the host if it is safe to send more data. (If the host sends data during an unsafe condition, data will be lost.) DTR is not...
Page 86 Host Interface Menu Baud Rate Sets the baud rate of the serial interface in the printer. Baud rate is the speed at which serial data is transferred between the host computer and the printer. The choices for the RS-232 and RS-422 interfaces are 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19,200, 38,400, 57,600, 115,200 Baud.
Page 87 This parameter determines when the printer generates the Request to Send (RTS) signal to the host computer. RTS is a status signal that the printer sends to the host to indicate whether or not the printer is ready to receive data.
Page 88 Msec. This parameter selects the Series 1 delay time, in milliseconds, that the printer waits prior to sending the Series 1 response to the host. NOTE: This parameter is used only with the SERIES 1, 1 CH and SERIES 1, 2 CH protocols. See the description of the Data Protocol menu option on page 83 for more information.
Page 89 Serial Parameters - RS-232 & RS-422 One Char Enquiry The One Char Enquiry mode uses the Poll Character to detect a request from the host and sends a response back to the host. This option also allows you to turn this feature on and off. The default is disabled.

Page 259: Performance Considerations
Performance Considerations The printer prints letter size and A4 size fanfold paper at 27 pages per minute portrait (one page every 2.2 seconds) and 35 pages per minute landscape. To sustain printing at full speed, data for each page must be received and rendered in less than 2.2 seconds for portrait mode (otherwise the printer will pause).
Page 260 For application efficiency in IGP/PGL or IGP/VGL, it is best to store a form in the printer and then execute it with dynamic data, rather than send the entire form each time. Also if possible, eliminate sending white space (spaces or tabs) at the end of lines if it is not necessary.
Page 261: Rs-232 Serial Interface
• the printing resolution is 400 dpi Refer to the L5535 Maintenance Manual or contact a qualified service representative for details on adjusting the global memory. RS-232 Serial Interface This interface is used with bit serial devices compatible with EIA RS-232C or CCITT V.24 standards.
