Configuring the Printer

When changing from one emulation to another, the printer will load the power–up

configuration. Thus, any configuration settings done before selecting these

emulations and not saved in NVRAM will be lost.

NOTE: In order to configure an emulation, that emulation must be selected

in the ACTIVE EMULATION menu; other emulations not selected

will not appear in the menu.

“Mode” refers to the emulation software that you use. Your printer comes

equipped with the Printronix LinePrinter Plus emulation software (which emulates

an impact printer). The IGP/PGL, IGP/ VGL, IPDS, CTHI, and PhoenixPage

PCL5 software emulations are available as options.

When you turn on the printer, it reads the Flash memory as part of its

initialization, to determine what emulations are installed. Based on this

information, the printer then creates the appropriate selections on the Mode

menu. During power-up, the printer also loads the power-up set of configuration

values. The power-up set is the same as the factory set until you select a new set

for the power-up configuration.

NOTE: Each emulation can have its own set of configuration options in

addition to those that are in the printer system list. For information

on these unique configuration settings, see the appropriate

emulation manual.
