ESC/P-K Emulation
This section describes how to use ESC/P-K emulation.
Emulation
This section describes the printer language emulations available on the machine.
Print data conforms to certain rules (grammars). These rules (grammars) are called printer
languages.
The machine supports two types of printer languages: a page description language,which is
used to create images on a page-by-page basis, and an emulation, which is used to achieve
the print results similar to those of other printers. To "emulate" means to imitate the print
results of other printers.
Emulation Mode
When printing data written in a language other than a page description language
supported by the machine, switch the machine to the emulation mode. The relationships
between the emulation mode and the printer to be emulated are as follows:
ESC/P-K emulation mode (ESC/P-K mode)
Host Interfaces and Emulation
Different host interfaces support different printer languages. The host interfaces that
support printer languages are as follows:
USB port
LPD port
SMB port
IPP port
Port 9100 port
WSD port
Switching between Printer Languages
The machine provides the Multi-emulation feature that allows switching between different
printer languages.
The methods of switching between printer languages are as follows:
Switching by Commands
Commands for switching between printer languages are provided. Upon receipt of a
command, the machine switches to the relevant printer language.
Interface-dependent
You can set a printer language for each host interface by using CentreWare Internet
Services. The machine switches to a printer language corresponding to the host interface
that received data.
