Seiko FB-900 - Manual (Page 128)

4-12
Introduction
The HP emulation of the printer provides full compatibility with the
HP2235A RuggedWriter 480 printer.
The printer also provides features and capabilities beyond those ever
provided by the HP RuggedWriter printer. SEIKO Precision Inc. has
provided a means for you to access these extra capabilities for any new
applications that you may chose to print on the printer.
The extra capabilities of the printer are enabled for access through a
special control panel menu setting entitled "50 PCL MODE".
PCL Mode
• PCL3 MODE -Provides the basic RuggedWriter 480 emulation
command set.
• PCL3+ MODE –Provides extra capability to the RuggedWriter 480
command set that allows you to access many printer features through
extensions of the command set.
• PCL3+D MODE –Provides all features of PCL3+ and allows the vertical
and horizontal positioning to be set in increments of 1/360". This mode
provides a "limited" Deskjet capability, and is mainly intended for
printing from Windows using the Deskjet 500 driver. Print output from
this mode will not be identical to that of a Deskjet printer (300 vs. 360
dpi) but will be closer than the other 2 modes for this type of application.
Setup
The information provided below gives setup information of the basic
printer RuggedWriter emulation, details of the command set extensions
provided with PCL3+ and PCL3+D Mode, and information on configuring
the Serial I/O to the various Term Types used by the HP System.
Refer to the Setup options for details on using the SETUP and
EXTENDED SETUP MODE.
Configuring the Printer with the RuggedWriter Emulation
1. Set the #20 EMULATION on EXTENDED SETUP MODE to "HP".
2. Set the #50 PCL MODE on EXTENDED SETUP MODE to "PCL3".
Setting the PCL MODE to "PCL3" provides the command set identical
with that of the HP RuggedWriter 480.
