Prt To Emulate

This option allows you to select an earlier model printer/IGP board
combination to emulate. When a printer emulation is selected, the scaling
command causes the printer to generate a graphic image in the same density
as the printer emulation chosen. Five types of printers can be emulated: MVP
or MVP 150B, L150, P3040, P6000, and P9000. Once a printer emulation is
selected, it remains active until the printer is turned off or another printer
emulation is selected. All new users with new applications should select the
"Disable" option, which insures the printer behaves as described in this
manual. The other compatibility modes are required to emulate the behaviors
of older printers which may be inconsistent with the documented VGL
functionality. Proper use of this feature requires the printer to be equipped
with high resolution hammer bank tips (12 mil).
