Active Emulations - Printronix P8000 Series Administrator's Manual

Active Emulations

The emulations present in the printer are based on the firmware installed and
the emulation options included. Both are configured from the Factory and do
not require any action from the user.
IMPORTANT
Be sure to know which type of firmware and options are purchased
(see Table 4) to understand the ACTIVE IGP EMUL, ACTIVE
EMULATION, and EMULATION main menus. H-Series and Indian
Language products only have the LinePrinter+ emulation.
