you have the wrong emulation selected, you will see strange
characters, incorrect fonts, etc.
See your software documentation for information on how to
select an emulation in that application.
If you are directly replacing a MICROLINE ML184 Turbo or ML184
printer with the ML186, you must make sure that the printer menu
on your new ML186 is set to match the emulation being used for
the existing printer (see "Changing the Emulation Default in the
Printer Menu" below).
For Non-Windows Applications
Your printer is compatible with the emulations listed in the table
below and will function properly with software developed for them.
To make full use of the ML186 printer's features, use the top entry
for the applicable emulation (e.g., IBM 2480). Entries further down
(e.g., IBM Graphics Printer Plus, IBM Graphics Printer) work well
with the printer, but do not provide full use of the printer's
capabilities.
