2.14 Emulation and Video Modes of Operation
The DEClaser 1100 operates using Digital's ANSI-compliant level 3 printing
protocol (DEC PPL3). If you have an optional emulation cartridge or are
using an external video controller, you must select the proper operating
mode. Emulation mode is selected when you want to invoke a protocol
from an optional emulation cartridge that is installed in the printer. Video
mode is selected when you have an external video controller connected to
the printer.
Use the procedure in Table 2–8 to select the emulation or video mode of
