    User guide Emulations Emulations General When a printer understands the control set written for another printer type, it is said to emulate the other printer. Your printer emulates, i.e. “understands” the Epson LQ-2550 in its standard version. Escape sequences Escape sequences or control codes tell the printer that the following transmitted code is a printer command and not a printable character.

Please note that this escape character has nothing to do with the ESC key on your com- puter keyboard.
