Emulation Modes; Print Setup In Emulation Modes - CognitiveTPG A799II Programming Manual

Emulation modes

The CognitiveTPG A799II Series printer may be operated in a number of different emulation modes. However, printing
characteristics and defaults may differ, depending on the desired mode. For instance, two-color paper and ColorPOS
commands and features are available only in A799II native mode.

Print setup in emulation modes

Refer to the chart below for defaults and allowed printing options in each emulation mode.
Emulation LPI

Native 6.00, 6.77, 7.52, 8.13 Standard
A793/A794 6.00, 7.52, 8.13
emulation
LEGACY 6.00
emulation
The following list clarifies how the A799II printer will behave in each emulation mode:
Two-color paper and ColorPOS
• If the paper type is changed using the 0x1D 0x81 command, the font and default lines per inch (LPI) will be setup as in
the table above.
• If only the font is changed, the default LPI will automatically be changed as in the table above.
• If emulation is switched to LEGACY, Native, A794 or A793 emulation(s), the paper type will automatically be changed
to monochrome paper, and the font and LPI will be changed as in the table above.
• If emulation is switched from any emulation to native the font and LPI will remain unchanged because the Native mode
supports all font and LPI options offered in the emulation modes.
• The "Set Default LPI" option in the configuration menu is not offered in LEGACY emulation made. The LPI is set at
6.00.
