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.
